DANBURY, Conn. -- Solomon Technologies, Inc, announced today that its Technipower subsidiary has been awarded a contract to develop and supply a power supply for the second phase of a new advanced vehicle launch ordinance system for the United States military. Solomon was awarded the first phase contract in February of 2007

Peter DeVecchis, President of Solomon Technologies, said, "Past performance and innovative thinking are critical in the award of these very complex, phased projects. As we evolved the technology we developed during the project's first phase into the next stage, our deep technical capability and extensive experience in high power applications was critical to our customer's confidence in and commitment to Technipower as the project progressed. This next phase requires much higher energy density than the initial project and is typical of the growing number of kilowatt class applications that Technipower is uniquely qualified to fulfill."

Mr. DeVecchis added, "Leveraging our high power capability and military experience provides an expanded platform for Technipower's continued growth in these unique applications and adds depth and breadth to our corporate focus in the renewable and alternative energy markets where high power, rugged and highly reliable products are mandatory."

The new initiative will increase launch trajectory accuracy, replacing a decades old system on one of the military's primary light mobile bombardment platforms. Technipower's proposal not only provided a robust, innovative power system, but also was responsive to the contractor's need for a highly manufacturable, cost effective solution. This second system is scheduled for delivery in the fourth quarter of this year. If the military selects the new system for future field deployment the production contract could be substantial over a number of years.

Solomon Technologies, Inc., through its Power Electronics and Motive Power divisions, develops, licenses, manufactures and sells direct current power supplies and power supply systems requiring high levels of reliability and ruggedness for defense, aerospace, marine, commercial and industrial applications as well as precision hybrid and regenerative electric power drive systems, including those utilizing its patented Electric Wheel Electric Transaxle for automotive, hybrid electric and all electric vehicle applications.
