Flight Safety Announces Completion of TIICM(TM) Live-Fire Testing
April 22 2008 - 4:00PM
Business Wire
In February, 2008, the Air Force completed live fire testing of the
Company�s TIICM� MANPADS countermeasure technology, which is
designed to defend aircraft against certain shoulder fired missile
threats. A final report is being prepared for the Government and is
expected to be delivered by the end of April, 2008. While the
results of the test did not meet certain pre-test success criteria
developed in conjunction with our partner, Sanders Design
International, the Company is nonetheless encouraged by this round
of testing. The test results are consistent with simulations, which
also predict that significant improvements in the overall system
performance will result if and when certain modifications to the
underlying infrared source technology are developed. If those
developments are completed, the Company believes that TIICM� could
have significant technological advantage over competing
countermeasures. The Company is seeking further Government funding
to develop and test an advanced version of the technology, but can
provide no assurance as to whether or when it may receive any such
funding or complete such developments. About Flight Safety
