DRS to offer live new product demo at Dubai '95 International Aerospace Exhibition.

PARSIPPANY, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 16, 1995--Diagnostic/ Retrieval Systems Inc. (ASE: DRS.A, DRS.B) today announced that it will offer a live new product demonstration in its booth A456 in the U.S.A. Pavilion at Dubai '95 International Aerospace Exhibition.

The show is being held at the Dubai International Airport in the United Arab Emirates and runs from November 12th through 16th.

For the first time ever, a live demonstration will be presented of DRS's Sea Sentry Coastal and Harbor Surveillance System, which was designed specifically for the protection of coastal and in-shore environments. Sea Sentry is a rapid deployment system for coastal surveillance, law enforcement, intelligence gathering and harbor security. It features an upgraded, state-of-the-art acoustic processor developed specifically for shallow water operation and an integrated embedded trainer for improved operator proficiency. Using this unique signal processing system, countries can monitor their shorelines, straits, harbors and other approaches and protect them from unwanted intruders.

Deployed in vans for mobile or fixed-site installation, Sea Sentry provides surface and subsurface surveillance of ships, small boats, submarines, submersibles and swimmer delivery vehicles operating at ranges to 20 kilometers off shore. The system utilizes radar, acoustic and optical sensors to detect and classify intruding vessels. Once a threat is detected, information about the intruder is communicated via the system's command, control and communications data links.

In addition to the live demonstration, DRS will provide product information on its cockpit video data recording and storage systems, multiple-platform boresight equipment, commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) display workstations, trainer and emulation products, and technical support services. Highlighted will be:

o DRS's lightweight, high-performance, airborne mission and

video data recording systems for helicopters and fixed-wing

aircraft. Under a recently awarded contract from the U.S.

Navy, DRS is providing 8-millimeter cockpit video data

recording systems to all Navy F/A-18 Hornet jet aircraft.

These recorders are expected to become the international

standard for data storage and retrieval systems.

o The company's Multi-Platform Boresight Equipment (MPBE)

portable ground support system that can be used for a variety

of platforms to align aircraft navigation, targeting and

weapons systems with the optical sighting gear of the pilot to

ensure target accuracy. Already in use for some domestic and

international AH-64 Apache and AH-1W Cobra helicopters, these

systems have broad international appeal.

o DRS's advanced data processing and display workstations, which

incorporate high-resolution, color raster display technology

that utilizes commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware and

software. This allows rapid configuration for tailoring to

specific user requirements. DRS's low-cost, high-performance

military display emulators functionally replace existing, more

expensive, shipboard combat display consoles.

o For over 25 years, the company has provided technical support

services to the United States and foreign governments in the

areas of field engineering and support, training, depot repair,

manufacturing and integrated logistics support. DRS's

technical support group has provided such services for a number

of sonar signal processing systems, surface and air search

radar systems and advanced tactical display systems.

DRS spokesmen will be available to discuss in detail the significance of the company's products in booth A456 at the exposition's "Made in America" U.S.A Pavilion.

DRS Inc. is a high-technology company that provides defense and industrial customers with systems used to manage, process, display and store information. The company also provides technical services and support to a broad range of customers.
