| 07/2007 - ASI Team Awarded Intelligent Carbon Nanotube-Based Development Contract |
| Alphareeta, Georgia: July 2007 - A team including Applied Systems Intelligence (ASI) was awarded a $6 Million contract for the research and development of intelligent carbon nanotube-based computer devices meant to reduce satellite vulnerability from solar radiation events. This |  | | Springfield, MO: Representative Roy Blunt (R, MO) displays ASI's Gemini x25 hardware during the dedication of the Jordan Valley Innovation Center | | |
| technology will allow for quick software reloading or resetting in satellites during the aftermath of such an event locally without necessitating ground-based intervention. |
| Solar radiation events including solar flares have been shown to interrupt communications through satellites. Such events have caused significant downtime as new software is uploaded from ground-based control centers. In addition, a relatively low yield and inexpensive nuclear weapon exploded in space can have an extremely destructive effect on space borne and ground-based electronic equipment. This generally includes any equipment with the line of sight of the event. The growing threat of EMP attack by rogue groups with new nuclear capabilities challenge the military and civilian authorities to protect critical commercial and military infrastructure. With this technology it would be possible to quickly reload or reset software in satellites in the aftermath of such an event from an onboard source automatically without ground-based control. |
| The team also includes Missouri State University, the Jordan Valley Innovation Center (JVIC), and Brewer Science, Inc. Previous collaboration via the JVIC has led to ASI's Gemini x25 product (pictured right). The Gemini x25 is embedded with ASI's PreAct Artificial Intelligence software, enabling handheld computer integration. |

| 01/2007 ASI Wins Army Contract for Diplomatic, Intelligence, Military and Economic (DIME) Project |
| ASI Wins a Decision Aiding Tool Contract to Assess the Effects of Diplomatic, Information, Military & Economic (DIME) Activities on US Army Tactical Operations |
| Roswell, Georgia: January 3, 2007 Applied Systems Intelligence, Inc., (ASI) of Roswell, GA announced today that it has been awarded a $69,759 contract from the US Army Program Element Office, Command and Control and Communications Tactical, Fort Monmouth, NJ. |
| The Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) contract is to develop a decision aiding tool that assesses the effects of Diplomatic, Information, and Economic activities as well as Military (DIME) activities on the outcomes of military campaigns. The goal of DIME is to avoid counter-productive and conflicting activities in the conduct of tactical operations within a theater. For example, if restoring local agriculture to increase food supplies and encourage economic participation by the population is a high priority economic activity, a tactical operation that would disrupt agriculture and damage crops might be avoided if other more compatible operations could be performed instead. |
| Dr. Norm Geddes, ASI's CEO said, "The Army needs a reliable, maintainable and deployable solution to estimating the effects of DIME tasks. Our approach is to develop a solution that is easily configured to the theater and produce understandable and immediately applicable results to be of value to a tactical commander." |

| 01/2004 ASI to be a Key Member of Boeing's Team to Develop Future Combat Systems |
| Roswell, Georgia, January 5, 2004 Applied Systems Intelligence, Inc., announced today that it has been selected as a key member of a team led by The Boeing Company's Helicopter Division in Mesa, AZ (NYSE:BA) to fulfill a $90+ million contract to develop the Warfighter Machine Interface (WMI) component for the U.S. Army's Future Combat Systems (FCS) program. ASI's portion of the contract will exceed $17M with the work continuing through 2009. The Boeing WMI Team also includes SA Technologies of Marietta, GA, and Boeing Autometric of Springfield, VA. |
| The FCS program is the driving concept behind the Army's transformational and network-centric warfare efforts. Supporting rapid deployment, autonomous troops and an accelerated battle tempo, this program will prepare the Army for anticipated changes in the conduct of warfare beyond 2012. WMI is part of a Battle Command and Control (C2) system that will give warfighters a complete, integrated battlefield picture - that is, one view of all troops and platforms. This new capability will provide FCS personnel an intelligent user interface tailored to their display and information needs. |
| Dr. Norman Geddes, ASI's CEO, said, "ASI is proud that Boeing has shown its confidence in ASI for this important program and we look forward to providing our technology to the FCS WMI Team." |

| 01/2002 ASI will Participate in NASA's Small Aircraft Transportation Systems (SATS) Program |
| Roswell, Georgia, January 10, 2002 Applied Systems Intelligence, Inc. (ASI) announced today that it will be a member of one of four teams tapped by NASA to participate in its new Small Aircraft Transportation System (SATS) research and development program which was unveiled today. SATS is a five-year, $69 million proof of concept program managed by the NASA General Aviation Programs Office, NASA Langley Research Center, Hampton, Virginia. The program will be implemented in phases, beginning in the fall of 2001 and continuing to the flight demonstration phase in 2005. |
| Through shared public and private investments in the Advanced General Aviation Transportation Experiments (AGATE) project, and in part due to the General Aviation Revitalization Act of 1994, improvements are being made to small aircraft that make them easier to fly, safer to fly, and more affordable to purchase and operate. SATS will continue the public/private investment model and build on these improvements. New general aviation aircraft will use advanced technology control and display systems, advanced data communications systems, advanced navigation and weather systems, and new landing systems that allow operation in near all-weather conditions at non-radar, non-towered landing facilities. These combined improvements will make on-demand, distributed personal air travel a practical reality. |
| The four teams to participate in the initial research and development phase, in alphabetical order, are the Maryland SATS Lab, North Carolina-Upper Great Plains SATS Lab, Southeast SATS Lab Consortium and Virginia SATS Lab. |
| Each of the teams is a partnership of industry, state government, nonprofit organizations and academic institutions. These partnerships, or consortia, will share resources and costs with the federal government in an effort to move the SATS concept from the research phase to an implementation phase. |
| The teams have signed cost-sharing agreements with NASA that provide a total investment of approximately $13 million for the first year of the program. The NASA portion of the investment is approximately $7.5 million. The four teams will work independently on portions of the total effort. The General Aviation Programs Office, together with a private nonprofit management organization that will be formed later this year, will coordinate the program. |
| ASI will participate with the Maryland SATS Lab Team, formed by the Maryland Advanced Development Laboratory (MADL) of the University Research Foundation. The local synergy required to coordinate and execute the SATS initiative will be provided by state agencies and industries such as the Maryland Aviation Administration, Hinson Corporate Flight, Inc., ARINC Incorporated, Airpark Sales and Services and the University of Maryland Labs. The Maryland team has partnered its local assets with leading corporations including Applied Systems Intelligence, Inc. (ASI), Cirrus Design, Decision Studies Incorporated (DSI), Lancair Company, UPS Aviation Technologies and Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC). Over the next year, the NASA portion of the Maryland effort is expected to be approximately $850,000. The cost-share from the Maryland partnership is expected to be slightly less than that amount. |
| The focus of the Maryland team will be to evolve existing flight related procedures, integrate the team's existing and developmental technology and study the human factor requirements for both the experienced pilot and novice aircraft operator. The team's ability to perform these tasks is aided by the use of multiple small civil aircraft already configured with developmental systems, recording and analysis equipment. The planes will ultimately be configured with additional equipment that integrates their multiple functions into a single, automated suite. Such an integrated suite will provide the equivalent of a skilled electronic co-pilot called the Cockpit Associate. |
