HUNT VALLEY, Md., Aug. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- United
Industrial Corporation (NYSE:UIC) announced today that its
wholly-owned subsidiary AAI Corporation has been awarded a contract
to integrate and demonstrate a new, advanced tactical common data
link component for use with the U.S. Army's frontline RQ-7B
Shadow(R) 200 tactical unmanned aircraft system (TUAS), also
produced by AAI Corporation. The fully funded $11.7 million
contract was awarded by the Army's Aviation and Missile Command at
Redstone Arsenal, Ala. AAI is a leading U.S. designer and
manufacturer of tactical unmanned aircraft systems, ground control
station technologies, and other innovative unmanned system
capabilities. The company's highly regarded Shadow 200 TUAS has
been supporting U.S. and allied warfighters in Operation Iraqi
Freedom since the start of military operations there in 2003, and
has surpassed a record milestone of 100,000 operational hours, more
than 80 percent while deployed in combat support roles in Iraq.
Major subcontractors to AAI in development, demonstration, and
testing of a new, state-of-the-art TCDL are L-3 Communications
Systems West in Salt Lake City, Utah and Cubic Defense Applications
Inc. in San Diego, California. "The tactical common data link
system that will emerge from this integration and demonstration
program will provide near-real time connectivity and
interoperability among an array of manned and unmanned
intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance systems, including
our Shadow unmanned aircraft," explained Steven E. Reid, AAI's vice
president of unmanned aircraft systems. "Interoperability among the
various assets that collect intelligence data and those that use it
will result in greater situational awareness for U.S. and allied
forces and an ability to take decisive action more rapidly and
accurately," he added. United Industrial Corporation designs,
produces, and supports defense systems. Its products and services
include unmanned aircraft systems, training and simulation systems,
automated aircraft test and maintenance equipment, armament
systems, logistical and engineering services, and other
