Teledyne Designated National Hypersonic Science Center

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (NYSE:TDY) announced today that its
subsidiary, Teledyne Scientific & Imaging, LLC, was named by NASA and the United
States Air Force as the National Hypersonic Science Center for Hypersonic
Materials and Structures.

In addition to Teledyne Scientific & Imaging, the University of Virginia was
designated the National Center for Hypersonic Combined Cycle Propulsion, and
Texas A&M University was designated the National Center for Hypersonic
Laminar-Turbulent Transition. The new centers will advance research in
air-breathing propulsion, materials and structures, and boundary layer control
for aircraft that can travel at Mach 5, or five times the speed of sound, and
faster.

"For over three decades, Teledyne Scientific & Imaging has been a leader in the
development of novel materials such as ultra-high performance ceramic
composites, polymer composites, and multi-functional materials," said Robert
Mehrabian, chairman, president, and chief executive officer of Teledyne
Technologies. "Teledyne is honored by our selection as a National Hypersonic
Science Center from an extremely competitive group of respondents. This effort
supports Teledyne`s strategy of leadership in areas of fundamental science and
technology critical to the U.S. Government."

NASA and the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) previously teamed
to review each other`s technology portfolios and develop a plan for foundational
hypersonic research. The National Hypersonic Science Centers represent the first
effort to sponsor research jointly. NASA`s Fundamental Aeronautics Program and
AFOSR each set aside as much as $15 million to fund the centers. Each center
will receive $2 million per year and as much as $10 million if all renewal
options are exercised.

The Teledyne Scientific & Imaging team also includes researchers from University
of California at Santa Barbara, University of Colorado in Boulder, University of
Miami in Florida, Missouri University of Science and Technology at Rolla,
University of California at Berkeley, and University of Texas at Arlington.

Teledyne Technologies is a leading provider of sophisticated electronic
components, instrumentation and communication products, engineered systems,
aerospace engines, and energy and power generation systems. Teledyne
Technologies` operations are primarily located in the United States, the United
Kingdom and Mexico. For more information, visit Teledyne Technologies' website
