Arotech’s IES Interactive Training Receives $800,000 in New Orders; Continues Expansion Into International Law Enforcement Markets

New Orders for Range 3000 XP4 Digital Training Simulators from
Mexico and UK Authorities

July 28, 2004 - Arotech Corporation (NasdaqNM: ARTX) announced today that its simulation and training division has recently received new simulator contracts from multiple law enforcement agencies totaling more than $800,000. Today’s announcement makes total sales for Arotech’s simulation and training division in July nearly $2.5 million, which includes the $1.6 million in orders announced on July 12.

IES Interactive Training received purchase orders from law enforcement agencies in Mexico and the UK for multiple Range 3000 XP4 digital training simulators. In addition, the Mexican law enforcement agency order includes the A2Z Classroom Trainer option for its Range 3000 XP4 systems. All systems have been shipped to both agencies and training on the systems is scheduled to complete by end of August.

“IES continues to strengthen international sales by expanding its network of sales representative that focus exclusively on foreign markets,” said Greg Otte, president of IES. “The orders from both the Mexican and UK law enforcement agencies confirm our belief that foreign law enforcement authorities have just as strong a need for interactive simulation training as do US agencies.”

“Both units in our simulation and training division are making good progress,” said Robert S. Ehrlich, Arotech Chairman and CEO. “Sales for interactive training simulators in both local and international markets continue to grow.”
