Celtron International Acquires Aviation Tracking Technology.

Business Editors

MIDRAND, South Africa--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 9, 2003

Celtron International Inc. (OTCBB:CLTR) announced today that it concluded a transaction, through its South African subsidiary Orbtech Holdings Limited, whereby it purchased the technology charter and provisional patents for a technology that allows for the low-cost tracking of air traffic at smaller airports where the cost of radar systems is not viable.

Mr. Allen Harington, Chairman of Celtron, confirmed that Orbtech Holdings Limited has signed agreements pertaining to the acquisition of technology that will, according to Mr. Harington, "provide an air traffic controller (ATC) with an additional aid for traffic management in and around a controlled airspace. The system provides the ATC with high definition, detailed graphical information, in various view options, of aircraft and their positions in the area."

According to Mr. Ron Pienaar, Managing Director of Orbtech Holdings, the system is based on Global Positioning System (GPS) information, collected by the aircraft's onboard navigation systems, that is communicated via standard airband radios (RF), utilizing a specially designed digital interface to display the information on a base station PC-based application or user interface.

"I believe that this technology will save many lives," said Pienaar, "as this will revolutionize the safety risks associated with uncontrolled and unmonitored flights in the informal flying sector that includes private aircraft, micro-lights and Para-gliders. If a pilot should go down at any time, the immediate positional information would be available to emergency search and rescue teams as well as medical facilities in the immediate vicinity.

"Each aircraft is graphically displayed at its true position, together with its registration, type, altitude, distance from the ATC or base station and ground speed," said Pienaar. "Additionally, the ATC or operator will be informed of possible collisions and close separation distances. The system also automatically logs aircraft arrivals and departures and records all voice communication in a relational database."

Mine Worx International, a wholly owned subsidiary of Orbtech Holdings Limited, has developed and distributes a Web-based application called Student File that manages the registration, logging and tracking of student pilots, training aircraft, medical requirements and validations of instructors and other information. Both of these solutions are ideally suited for pilot training centers where an operator can manage and validate not only who is flying which aircraft, but also actually monitor and track the aircraft being utilized in a real-time environment, said Pienaar.

Although the technology development is completed, the product range still needs to be commercialized before it can be marketed to the industry. It is anticipated that this will be concluded by the first quarter of 2004.

"The application of the solutions is as wide as the imagination can stretch," said Harington. "This is not only suited to controlled airspace for use by air traffic controllers, it can be used by air charter companies who need to monitor the arrival and departure of their aircraft, by helicopter freight and cargo handling services to monitor the dispatch and delivery of airborne freight to and from passing ships and even Aero clubs, to monitor and control competitions, events and flying days."

According to Harington, the acquisition of the technology is not only aligned to the growth strategy of Orbtech Holdings in South Africa but also to the global expansion and licensing strategy of Celtron International. "It not only diversifies our current land-based products by offering `airborne solutions', which lead to an improved spread of risk, but at the same time maintains our core strategic focus of mobile solutions in monitoring, tracking and communication technology," said Harington.
