Arotech Subsidiary FAAC Inc. Gets $420,000 Order to Modernize
Air Combat Training Software

March 4, 2004 - Arotech Corporation (NasdaqNM: ARTX) announced today that its subsidiary FAAC Incorporated has been awarded a $420,000 contract from Jacobs Sverdrup Technology, Inc. to modernize FAAC's air combat training range software architecture.

Jacobs Sverdrup is contracting on behalf of Eglin Air Force Base, one of the largest Air Force bases in the world. FAAC has a 30-year history of providing weapon system simulations for the family of US Air Force ACTS and US Navy TACTS Air Combat Training Ranges.

“This is the first contract of an anticipated four year program to bring the simulation architecture up to modern standards,” said FAAC President Al Jordan. “The legacy software, developed over 20 years ago, had become difficult for the government to maintain and was beginning to restrict long term expansion.”

“The new design will provide growth capability for the over 25 air combat training range located worldwide,” said Robert S. Ehrlich, Arotech’s Chairman, President and CEO. “This in turn should provide FAAC opportunities to participate in that growth.”
