Flight Safety Technologies, Inc. and Sanders Design International Announce SICM / TIICM(TM) Funding.

MYSTIC, Conn. -- Flight Safety Technologies, Inc. (AMEX:FLT) and Sanders Design International announced today that the U.S. Government is expected to provide up to $1M in new funding to SDI for further research and development on the SICM / TIICM(TM) (Tactical Integrated Illuminating Countermeasures) technology for countermeasures against certain heat-seeking missile threats posed by terrorists against airliners and military aircraft.

FST and SDI have been involved together on SICM / TIICM(TM) since jointly executing a Teaming Agreement in April, 2004. Sanders Design International is a small technology company based in Wilton, NH. SDI expects to receive the new funding as an extension to a prior U.S. Air Force Small Business Innovative Research Contract. In addition to $500,000 in USAF funding, FST and SDI have worked together to facilitate a commitment of matching funding of $500,000 from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

FST expects to negotiate a subcontract from SDI to support the further development, test and maturation of SICM / TIICM(TM). FST and SDI previously worked on SICM / TIICM(TM) with Analogic Corp., which licensed related technology from SDI. Analogic recently filed a lawsuit against FST and SDI to enjoin further cooperation between FST and SDI on SICM / TIICM(TM). FST and SDI deny the merit of this suit and intend to vigorously contest it. In addition, FST and SDI believe that the USAF contract appears to fall within an exclusion in the Analogic/SDI license agreement for military applications. However, there can be no assurance as to the outcome or timing of the suit and its impact on the ability of FST and SDI to continue to work together on SICM / TIICM(TM).
