SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 12, 2000

Motorola's Leading Developments in Command, Control,

Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance

and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) Spearheads Technology

Motorola (NYSE: MOT) Tuesday announced the U.S. Army has awarded it the first Intelligence and Electronic Warfare Tactical Proficiency Trainer (IEWTPT) production contract for $14.5 million.

The total value of the contract with all options and quantities exercised is $30 million over eight years.

Motorola's technology will enable the U.S. Army to conduct Intelligence and Electronic Warfare (IEW) battle command, tactical proficiency and sustainment training. The IEWTPT simulates operations of key U.S. Army IEW collection assets.

It also stimulates actual ground stations with intelligence and sensor data, such as the Army Common Ground Station, Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (TUAV), Tactical Control System (TCS), and Tactical Exploitation System (TES).(a)

IEWTPT complements the Motorola prototype Combat Synthetic Training Assessment Range (CSTAR) battle command trainer by enhancing and subsequently extending existing CSTAR capabilities. This will impact training at military sites like the National Training Center at Ft. Irwin, Calif., where live training is conducted and the simulation training site located at Ft. Hood, Texas.

IEWTPT will also field new training capabilities at other sites including the Joint Readiness Training Center (JRTC) at Ft. Polk, La. and the training center at Ft. Huachuca, Ariz.

"Motorola is a leader in integrating operational C4ISR systems to help the military achieve information dominance. It is only natural that we extend our expertise toward developing and fielding associated simulation technology," said Mark Fried, corporate vice president and general manager of Motorola Integrated Information Systems Group.

"We have a long-term interest and the unique competencies to help the military accomplish its 'train as they fight' objective."

Motorola currently provides the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) with a wide range of C4ISR systems.

The successful performance of these systems during real world encounters and training situations adds emphasis to Motorola's prime contractor role with multiple military customers including the Common Ground Stations (CGS), Joint Services Workstations (JSWS), Tactical Operations Centers (TOCs) and Tactical Airspace Integration Systems (TAISs).
