BLUE BELL, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 20, 2003

Unisys Will Help Strengthen Access Control Using Various Security Measures, Including Biometrics, Surveillance and Anti-Tailgating/Anti-Piggybacking Technologies at a Minimum of 20 TSA-Selected Airports

Unisys Corporation (NYSE:UIS) announced today that the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) awarded the company a 20-month, cost-plus, fixed-fee contract with a ceiling of approximately $17 million. The initial task order placed under the contract has an estimated value of $8 million. The contract is for the evaluation of technologies that could mitigate security vulnerabilities at airports. The Airport Access Control Pilot Program (AACPP) will allow Unisys to identify the operational benefits achievable through increased use of biometric, surveillance and other security measures.

As the systems integrator for this pilot program, Unisys will coordinate the testing of biometric technologies that likely will include fingerprinting, facial recognition and iris scanning. Also included in the program are surveillance cameras at entry points to secure areas, which could prevent people without credentials from entering a secure area on the heels of someone with credentials, according to TSA.

"We're looking forward to working on this initiative to help strengthen security at United States airports," said Tom Conaway, Unisys managing partner for homeland security. "As a long-time integrator and early entrant into the biometrics market, we're ready to meet this security challenge with our partners and help TSA continue to employ leading technologies to protect the traveling public."

The AACPP task order was awarded by TSA's Office of the Chief Technology Officer. Unisys has worked with TSA for more than a year on the performance-based, information technology managed services (ITMS) contract to provide technology infrastructure for the nation's 429 commercial airports. ITMS is overseen by TSA's Office of the Chief Information Officer.

Forward-Looking Statement 

Any statements contained in this release that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All forward-looking statements rely on assumptions and are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations. In particular, the statement in this release regarding the contract ceiling value refers to the maximum potential value of the contract if the government awards additional task orders beyond the initial task order. The government is under no obligation to award additional task orders. Further, because contracts with government agencies are terminable by agencies before the end of their terms, the estimated value of the initial task order is not guaranteed, even though the task order is fully funded. Additional discussion of factors that could affect Unisys future results is contained in periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
