Kinesix Provides Critical Software for Satellite Missile Warning and Tracking System.

HOUSTON -- Kinesix Software has renewed maintenance agreements that will ensure the continued use of its Sammi(R) graphical-interface software as part of the Space-Based Infra Red System, or SBIRS.

SBIRS is a satellite missile warning and tracking system operated by the U.S. Air Force. The Air Force has indicated that SBIRS - which has relied on Sammi as its user interface since it was first deployed in 1996 - will provide the nation with critical missile defense and warning capabilities well into the 21st century, reinforcing the importance of Kinesix's renewed maintenance agreements.

"SBIRS is a great example of an application that truly benefits from Sammi's capabilities," declares Kinesix CEO Russ Jamerson. "Not only does it utilize Sammi's ability to process and control real-time data in graphical displays, but it also takes advantage of Sammi's built-in networking capabilities and cross-platform portability."

In addition to SBIRS, Sammi has been used in the satellite command-and-control systems from more than a half-dozen large aerospace companies. According to Jamerson, these companies selected Sammi based on its ability to display real-time data feeds in a graphical format, while also distributing information easily across a network that consists of both Linux and Unix operating systems.

Other Sammi users in the aerospace industry include Mission Control Central at NASA's Johnson Space Center, and the ASIST and FUSE satellite projects for NASA - as well as The Aerospace Corporation, United Space Alliance, the Canadian Space Agency and the Japanese Space Agency.

About Kinesix Software

Kinesix Software is the developer of Sammi, an enterprise and control-room graphics tool used by more than 20,000 mission-command and process-control workers. The Sammi product, which was first launched in 1990, allows users to build custom graphical displays that animate and manage massive volumes of streaming data across dozens - or even hundreds - of workstations. With Sammi, users see full-color dashboards, instead of rudimentary numeric readings or basic, conventional GUIs. While Sammi is often categorized as a graphics product, its real value lies in its proven ability to display live data across a network of command and control systems. Sammi is currently available for Unix, Microsoft NT/2000/XP and Linux platforms. Kinesix offers Sammi for a variety of platforms, including Unix, Microsoft NT/2000/XP and Linux. In addition, Kinesix is currently developing its next-generation human-machine interface, based on Microsoft's .Net platform. A Microsoft .NET version of the product will debut in early 2006. Kinesix is based in Houston, Tx. To learn more visit www.kinesix.com.
