Secretary Rumsfeld Takes a Drive on Arotech Subsidiary FAAC Simulator

Defense Secretary was tested on a driving simulator during a visit last week to Fort Leonard Wood

September 21, 2004 - Arotech Corporation (NasdaqNM: ARTX) announced today that Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld was tested on a driving simulator during a visit last week to Fort Leonard Wood, MO. The driving simulator is one of over 50 driving simulators installed at the military training base by Arotech’s FAAC subsidiary.

Secretary Rumsfeld's simulated drive took him through mountainous regions and forests similar to those of Afghanistan and Iraq. Mr. Rumsfeld scored 88 out of a possible 100 points and later said that his score wasn't good enough.

Fort Leonard Wood trains motor transport operators for all services along with several other military occupational specialties. FAAC has installed driver-training simulators at Fort Leonard Wood for use by the Army, Navy and Marines. FAAC Operator Driving Simulators are interactive, re-configurable training devices applying state of the art simulation to train vehicle operators.

FAAC driving simulators enable students to learn proper operational techniques under all terrain, weather, road, and traffic conditions. Instructors have the ability to use simulation as the primary instructional device quantitatively evaluating student performance under controlled, repeatable, scenarios. This combined with the ability to create hazardous and potentially dangerous situations, without risk to man or material, results in a more thoroughly trained operator than ever before.

“Our driving simulators are used by all branches of the Military,” noted Al Jordan, FAAC President. “This visit shows the importance the Military places on FAAC simulators.”

“We are extremely proud to have Secretary Rumsfeld drive our simulators,” said Robert S. Ehrlich, Arotech Chairman and CEO. “He could get a first hand impression of how useful simulators are for military training.”
