PhotoTelesis designs, manufactures, and markets high performance, cost
effective digital imaging and data communications products for the US
Department of Defense, as well as other domestic and international military
customers. PhotoTelesis, founded and previously owned by David A. Monroe, is
recognized as the industry leader in tactical imagery transmission, and has
been for over 19 years.

Symetrics provides engineering, manufacturing, testing, integration and
support services for electronic systems of the highest quality for the US DoD,
domestic and international commercial and military customers. Founded in 1962,
the company has built a track record of superior performance on long-term
production contracts for many weapons systems.

"This combination represents a significant strategic positioning for new
business opportunities in the defense market," notes Mitch Garner, Symetrics’
President and CEO. "Symetrics is internationally recognized for its Improved
Data Modem (IDM) technology that facilitates digital communications over Combat
Net Radios and has worked with PhotoTelesis for several years adding its
PRISM(TM) (Photo Reconnaissance Intel Strike Module) technology to those same
IDM products."

"Both Symetrics’ IDM and the PhotoTelesis(R) imagery products are
flight-proven, ‘off-the-shelf’ systems that facilitate the interconnection to
multiple ‘voice-only’ Combat Net Radios to create a multi-path, digital and
imagery communications architecture," explains Ron Ford, President of
PhotoTelesis. "This new alliance will be very positive for both our customers
and shareholders.

"A recent example of this mutual relationship and technology was a Royal
Netherlands Air Force contract for 120 sets of PRISM(TM) modules, cockpit
control units for the fleet of F-16 aircraft, modification kits for the
IDM-302, ground station equipment, and technical support. Program success was
verified by significant positive feedback coming from the pilots deployed to
Afghanistan. The equipment provides real-time imagery sharing between aircraft
and ground based command centers."
