ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Arbortext, the leading provider of Enterprise Publishing software, today announced that AAI Corporation, a subsidiary of United Industrial Corporation (NYSE:UIC), has selected its software to create and publish maintenance and repair manuals for the Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (TUAV) for the United States Army.

Military suppliers are being asked to deliver systems quickly and provide fast maintenance, training and operational support teams around the globe. Arbortext Enterprise Publishing software will enable AAI Corporation to improve and automate the content creation and publishing process, ultimately ensuring that field maintenance personnel receive updated product information as fast as possible, fully supporting AAI Corporation's rapid fielding of innovative new TUAV capabilities.

"I believe the solution we are implementing with Arbortext enables us to build on that tradition for all of AAI's product lines."
