      MTC and Sarnoff Partner to Deliver Holistic Solutions for Electronic Obsolescence

      Thursday, February 02, 2006

      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."
