PEABODY, Mass. -- John Wood, President and CEO of Analogic Corporation (NASDAQ: ALOG), announced today that the Company has received a new order for its EXplosive Assessment Computed Tomography (EXACT(TM)) Systems from L-3 Communications' (NYSE: LLL) subsidiary, L-3 Communications Security and Detection Systems, Inc. The order has a value of approximately $25,000,000. Shipments will begin in June 2005 and continue into February 2006. Analogic is currently shipping units to fulfill an earlier order of similar scope from L-3.

"These units will include our new full-field-of-view computer with improved reconstruction capability to better image a variety of bag sizes. This major enhancement is part of our continuing commitment to improve explosives detection technology." Analogic's EXACT systems are built in a new 50,000-square-foot security manufacturing facility at the Company's Peabody headquarters.
