PRINCETON, NJ – February 2, 2006 – MTC Technologies, Inc. (MTC),
through its wholly owned subsidiary, Manufacturing Technology, Inc.
(MTI), together with Sarnoff Corporation, today announced a strategic
partnership to provide a full range of solutions to guard military
systems against electronic obsolescence. The MTC/MTI team is a leader
in providing obsolescence prediction roadmaps, system level redesign,
software upgrades, and subsystem manufacturing. Sarnoff is well known
for the design and manufacturing of a full range of emulated
microcircuit products when supplies are no longer available or
improvements in reliability or sustainability are needed.
The partnership now offers a complete customized solution framed on
the basis of time and budget available to fleet managers of military
systems. Equally important, the partnership now offers complete
proactive obsolescence protection for newly developed military systems
and post deployed legacy systems -- a total life cycle security
envelope. As a whole, the partnership will tackle obsolescence events
across the full spectrum of military systems -- aircraft, ships, land
vehicles, and missiles.
David Gutridge, MTC Chief Executive Officer, comments,"Clifton
Gilmore and his team at our Ft. Walton Beach operations have had a
long-standing relationship with Sarnoff. This agreement should enable
Sarnoff and MTC to enhance our joint abilities to contribute to our
nation’s warfighters by providing them with an even more comprehensive
package of obsolescence solutions. As the average age of our military’s
weapon systems continues to increase, we anticipate a growing market
for this total package of obsolescence solutions."
James Hengle, Sarnoff’s Managing Director of Emulation Products and
Technology, states, " Sarnoff has manufactured over 70,000
microcircuits for use in military platforms. Each year we push the
envelope to provide ever increasingly complex emulated products to the
military, for example, the Mil Standard 1750 microprocessor. This
partnership blends the capabilities of each company to cover the full
range of solution sets needed to sustain deployed weapon systems,
thereby putting tremendous staying power in the hands of the
warfighter."
