Applied Signal Technology, Inc. Receives
Significant
Interest During Technology Open Houses
Pegasus ESM Family of Products and Third
Generation Wireless Communication
Symposium Receive Positive Reviews
from Over 300 Government and Industry Participants
SUNNYVALE, CA , November 13, 2007 – Applied
Signal Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: APSG), a market leader in signal
collection and exploitation systems, held an open house at its
Allen, Texas facility and technology symposiums at its Annapolis
Junction, Maryland, and Herndon, Virginia, facilities. The Texas
open house unveiled its highly sophisticated Electronic Support
Measures (ESM) Pegasus product line in support of Intelligence,
Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR). Pegasus is the next generation
collection capability with reduced size, weight, and power (SWAP)
that can be used for airborne, ground, surface, and sub-surface
applications. The high performance, cost-effective product line features fully
automated signal processing with an innovative digital receiver architecture
and high accuracy monopulse interferometers to meet demanding ISR requirements.
The open house featured a series of presentations
and demonstrations of Applied Signal Technology’s (AST)
full spectrum of airborne and ground-based ISR solutions for
wireless telecommunications and electronic warfare signal collection
and exploitation. “This
product introduction is the culmination of a three-year investment
to introduce an innovative family of products to the defense marketplace.
The reception we have received to date, including at our open house,
has been very encouraging,” said Robert Blanchard, Vice President
of AST’s Electronic Systems Division.
Gary Yancey, AST's Chief Executive Officer,
added, “We
are pleased with the results of the open house. The Pegasus product
line provides an order of magnitude performance improvement over
the current state-of-the-art, with substantially lower size, weight,
and power to address emerging opportunities in unmanned vehicle
collection. We achieved our primary objective of demonstrating
a real product and its potential to revolutionize the ISR marketplace.
The open house enabled us to reach an impressive cross-section
of the customer base.”
On November 6–8, the company hosted Fall
Technology Symposiums at its Annapolis Junction, Maryland, and
Herndon, Virginia, facilities. The symposiums featured a series
of product demonstrations and technical seminars that focused
on third generation wireless communication systems, their future
applications, and potential implications on ISR collection. John
Treichler, AST’s Chief Technology
Officer, said “The technology symposiums confirmed the tremendous
interest resulting from the rapid changes occurring in the wireless
communications industry. Through our combination of technical seminars
and equipment demonstrations, we successfully demonstrated that
AST is uniquely positioned to address the ISR challenges resulting
from the emerging shifts in personal communications”.
Mr. Yancey said “The large number of attendees
at these events and the very high level of interest in our ISR
solutions further confirm our belief that the global war on terror
is creating a demand for more and better ISR. I believe the current
and anticipated continuing state of world affairs will create a
continual demand for ISR solutions. Since we are a leading provider
of ISR solutions, this demand creates an opportunity for us to
continue to grow the Company”.
