Arotech Awarded Additional Funding From U.S. Army For New Generation Zinc Air Development Program

Program Funding Received by Arotech to Date Totals $1.9 Million

June 7, 2006 - Arotech Corporation (NasdaqNM: ARTX) announced today that its Electric Fuel subsidiary has received additional funding of $700,000 from the U.S. Army’s Communications and Electronics Command, CECOM, for further development of the Gen4 Zinc-Air Battery technology.

The funding covers research and development program aimed at the Future Force Warrior project – the U.S. Army’s flagship Science and Technology initiative to develop and demonstrate revolutionary capabilities for Future Force soldier systems.

“The additional funding from the U.S. Army further demonstrates the potential significance of our Gen4 technology,” said Robert S. Ehrlich, Chairman and CEO of Arotech. “Our new-generation, belt-worn Zinc-Air battery can be effective in facilitating longer mission times.”

Arotech believes that its Zinc-Air technology outperforms competing technologies in energy density. The Zinc-Air batteries are considerably safer in combat situations, lighter for extended missions, more economical and more environmentally friendly than comparable lithium batteries.

Arotech’s Battery and Power Systems Division is a leading provider of zinc-air and lithium batteries and chargers for defense and security products and other military applications. Arotech develops and produces high power zinc-air batteries and is believed to be the sole supplier of this technology to the U.S. military. In addition, Arotech develops high-end primary and secondary batteries and associated chargers and has vast experience in working with government agencies, the military and large corporations.

The Battery and Power Systems Division consists of Electric Fuel Battery Corporation, Electric Fuel Ltd., and Epsilor Electronic Industries Ltd.
