HUNT VALLEY, Md., Aug. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- United
Industrial Corporation (NYSE:UIC) announced today that its
wholly-owned subsidiary AAI Corporation has been awarded a $13.8
million contract by the Royal Netherlands Army (RNLA) to provide an
Advanced Moving Target Simulator (AMTS) system for air defense
training for the nation's armed forces and related logistics
support for a period of 15 years. The simulator, designated Stinger
Trainer by the RNLA, will be installed at the Joint Air Defense
School at De Peel Air Force Base. The AMTS is AAI's
third-generation air defense trainer. The contract requires
development, installation, and testing of a fully immersive,
computer-generated, simulated environment inside a 64-foot diameter
hemispherical dome trainer where gunners and crew chiefs can be
effectively trained and evaluated on the use of Stinger missiles
against aggressor aircraft. A leader in air defense training
systems for more than 30 years, AAI has produced and delivered
state-of-the-art systems for the U.S. Army, U.S. Army National
Guard, and U.S. Marine Corps, as well as for the armed forces of
Australia, Italy, Japan, Romania, and Turkey. "The innovative
simulation training technologies of our AMTS system deliver
superior training while eliminating the need to fire actual weapons
-- a very significant cost savings for users," said Frederick M.
Strader, president and chief executive officer of both United
Industrial and AAI. "We are pleased that the Netherlands has chosen
AAI's AMTS as a key element in training its forces for national
defense." United Industrial Corporation designs, produces, and
supports defense systems. Its products and services include
unmanned aerial vehicle systems, training and simulation systems,
automated aircraft test and maintenance equipment, armament
systems, logistical and engineering services, and other
leading-edge technology solutions for defense needs. The company
also manufactures combustion equipment for biomass and refuse
fuels. For more information, visit http://www.unitedindustrial.com/
