VT Miltope Receives Contracts Totaling US$6.4m For Next Generation Military Rugged Laptop For The US Army

(Singapore, 28 July 2006) -- Singapore Technologies Engineering (ST Engineering) today announced that its US company, VT Miltope, has received a US$6.4m (about $10m) order for its new TSC-750M 915 configuration for the Aviation Mission Planning System (AMPS) Portable Computing Unit (PCU). The order includes 582 TSC-750M AMPS PCU kits and 542 upgrades to the TSC-750M computers already fielded. Deliveries are scheduled to begin this month and are to be completed by 1Q2007. The "915" AMPS PCU provides Army Aviation a mission planning and battle synchronisation tool that automates mission planning tasks.

This contract is not expected to have any material impact on the consolidated net tangible assets per share and earnings per share of ST Engineering for the current financial year.


The AMPS now requires this new next generation 915 version of the TSC-750M military rugged laptop computer, due to expanded computing requirements for applications such as TOPSCENET based mission rehearsal and Joint Mission Planning System (JMPS) capabilities.

"The TSC-750M 915 upgrade validates VT Miltope's continued commitment to the US Army's evolving need to provide our soldiers in the field with the most robust computing capabilities that work in the toughest tactical environments." ~ Brigadier General (US Army, Ret) Tom Dickinson, President and CEO, VT Miltope.
