New MDR Series features digital video and data recording facilitating digital battlefield connectivity.

Montebello, CA - June 20, 2005 - TEAC Aerospace Technologies, Inc. (TAT), the leading provider of rugged airborne video and mission data recorders, announces receipt of a multi-year contract award from Aermacchi for MDR-80 Mission Data Recorders to support the Aermacchi AMX aircraft. The AMX, a joint program undertaken by Alenia, Aermacchi and Embraer, is a surface attack aircraft for battlefield interdiction, close air support and reconnaissance missions. Contract delivery will commence in the fourth quarter 2005.

TEAC's MDR-80 mission data recorders deliver an advanced technical and cost-effective solution to record both combat and training missions to provide vital tactical and flight information for battle commanders and training officers. TEAC's mission data recorders come with removable, expandable memory modules to handle Gigabytes of digital video plus PCM, ACMI, MFOQA, HUMS, Ethernet, and 1553 data recording along with mission data loading. The flexible MDR architecture meets today's requirements with a built-in upgrade path for operational expansion and technology insertion in the future without redesign. TEAC currently offers the MDR-80 in 30 COTS configurations.

For the AMX, the solid state digital MDR-80 will be configured to record a single video source, with over two hours of high-resolution digital recording capacity, and 1553 data on solid state Removable Memory Modules. The recorded video will be used for post-mission debrief and analysis.

TEAC's newest line of Mission Data Recorders, the MDR-80 is already operational worldwide with deployments in Australia, Bulgaria, Chile, France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, South Africa, Sweden, United Kingdom, Japan, S. Korea, India, Netherlands, Switzerland, and the United States. The MDR-80 is the latest in TEAC's line of Airborne Video Tape Recorders (AVTRs) that fly on over 20,000 fighter aircraft and helicopters in 50 countries around the world and on the Space Shuttle.

"The TEAC team recognizes the importance of the AMX program and will support it with enthusiasm," notes David Husted, President of TEAC Aerospace Technologies. "We are pleased to have been selected for this important international fighter."

About the MDR-80
The data and video recording capability of the MDR-80 is user-configurable via plug-in user application cards (UACs) that define the operational configuration of the recorder, including the following UACs: single and multi-channel MPEG-2 video recording, multi-channel 1553 recording, multi-channel PCM recording, and Autonomous ACMI. Optional control protocols for RS-422, Ethernet and 1553 control systems allow the user to control the recorder and dynamically modify video and data recording characteristics as well as implement special software applications within the MDR operating system. Memory capacity is also flexible as the MDR-80 records all data on removable memory modules making the memory size scalable to meet user needs. The modules interface directly to the ground debriefing system via an industry standard interface, so the video and data are instantly available and fully synchronized. The user can easily highlight mission event marks for rapid hot debriefing and data push. TEAC's Digital Debrief Stations take advantage of TEAC's recording technology to integrate and synchronize video and aircraft digital data to deliver 21st century mission debrief capabilities, including 3-D playback or full ACMI capability.
