SYS Technologies Announces Defense Network Management Contracts Worth $1.6 Million

-- Investment in dopplerVUE Broadens Next Generation Network
Management Product Suite --
SAN DIEGO--(Business Wire)--
SYS Technologies, Inc. ("SYS") (AMEX: SYS), a leading provider of
information connectivity solutions that enable situational awareness
and real-time collaboration, announced two separate agreements today
with an unnamed secure defense agency to use dopplerVUE as the
management software platform for its networks. These agreements for
both products and services are valued at approximately $1.6 million.

SYS, which recently signed an agreement to be acquired by Kratos
Defense Solutions (Nasdaq: KTOS), noted that the first agreement,
valued at approximately $1.1 million, is an expansion of the agency's
current relationship with SYS. The agency currently uses NeuralStar,
SYS' flagship network management solution, as the management platform
for their large, enterprise networks and will now incorporate
dopplerVUE into their network management framework. dopplerVUE has a
smaller footprint to better align with the operational needs of the
agency, including use with their tactical networks.

"The expanded relationship pairing dopplerVUE and NeuralStar is a
testament to the underlying architecture and their respective
strengths in meeting both strategic and tactical objectives," said
Cliff Cooke, CEO of SYS Technologies. "As the nation's defense comes
to rely more and more upon the net-centered applications and
communications, assuring the reliability and security of these systems
is imperative. SYS is proud to play a role in this essential service."

dopplerVUE is a next-generation network management tool,
integrating fault and performance with discovery and automated mapping
into a single unified dashboard across devices, applications and
services. With superior visibility and advanced monitoring features,
dopplerVUE brings the power of advanced features to networks directly
supporting the war fighter.

The second agreement, a two year services contract, has a base
year for 2008 and an option year for 2009. The base year has a ceiling
value of $0.5 million, and calls for SYS to provide local and on-site
engineering support as well as support for the NeuralStar and
dopplerVUE implementations.
