Future Technologies, Inc. Purchases Concurrent Computer Corporation's Real-Time Computer for Kiowa Warrior Helicopter Trainer System.

FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 2, 1998--

Total Contract Valued at $2.8 Million

Concurrent Computer Corporation (NASDAQ:CCUR) announced today that Enzian Systems Division, Future Technologies, Inc. (FTI) purchased PowerMAXIONS(tm) and Concurrent's real-time operating system, PowerMAX OS(tm), for the OH-58D Kiowa Warrior Trainer Production Program. The systems will be used for the Kiowa Warrior Crew Station Mission Equipment Trainer (CSMET) which FTI is producing for the U.S. Army's Simulation, Training, and Instrumentation Command (STRICOM). The initial systems were delivered for $329,000, with contract options for an additional 15 systems increasing the contract to its total value of $2.8 million.

Previously used in the development phase of this program, Concurrent's PowerMAXION and PowerMAX OS successfully met the performance goals established by FTI and the U.S. Army. In the production phase, the Concurrent systems will execute such real-time computational tasks as flight simulation modeling, real-time pilot and co-pilot input, image generator commands, cockpit graphics with touch screens, aural cueing commands, distributed interactive simulation, and ModSAF mapping and entities.

Selection of the Concurrent hardware and operating system represented a low-risk alternative for FTI, which had worked with Concurrent on the development phase. As a result of Concurrent's previous involvement with the program and experience in configuring the trainer system, it acquired an in-depth knowledge of CSMET and the Army's requirements.

According to Dave Sjuggerud, Program Manager, Enzian Systems Division, FTI, "Working with Concurrent to develop the prototype in the research and development phase of the project was an excellent experience. Concurrent offers outstanding equipment and support for both its hardware and software and has already demonstrated a commitment to this project."

"FTI has skillfully assembled an extremely knowledgeable project team and fostered a partnership among all parties involved" said Corky Siegel, Chairman of the Board, President, and Chief Executive Officer, Concurrent Computer Corporation. "We are proud of winning this contract and of the superior real-time performance that has made us a leader in aircraft training simulation."

FTI is a small disadvantaged business headquartered in Seabrook, Maryland, which specializes in simulation and training systems development. The Enzian Systems Division, in Orlando, Florida, is ideally located to serve the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps training needs at the National Center for Simulation and Training in Orlando. FTI attributes the success of this project to an integrated project team which fosters cooperation among the prime contractor and its subcontractors, the government contracting agency, and the government end users.
