VIENNA, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 28, 2000

Allied Research Corporation (AMEX: ALR), a diversified defense and commercial electronics security firm, announced today that its Belgian subsidiary, VSK Group, had received several new contracts in the past few weeks from the European Commission.

W. Glenn Yarborough, Jr., President & Chief Executive Officer of Allied Research, stated that he was delighted to see continued growth in its electronic security business sector. These new contracts have moved VSK into new areas of security services and into more profitable service agreements.

VIGITEC, the Brussels based closed circuit television company (CCTV) firm acquired by The VSK Group in December 1999, was awarded a contract for the installation and maintenance of CCTV monitoring systems in 39 of the European Commission's key facilities in Brussels. This award will add substantially to the several hundred VIGITEC cameras already in use throughout the government agency.

VSK currently provides fire detection and integrated security systems in the European Parliament's main facility. This new order adds recurring revenues of $200,000 per year.
