FAIRFAX, Va., May 18 /PRNewswire/ -- General Dynamics Information Technology,
a business unit of General Dynamics (NYSE: GD), has completed the Military
Operations on Urban Terrain (MOUT) instrumentation at the King Abdullah II
Special Operations Training Center (KASOTC) under a contract awarded by the
U.S. Army Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and
Instrumentation (PEO STRI) in 2006. Under a Foreign Military Sales contract,
the U.S. Special Operations Command-Central (SOCCENT) serves as the project's
program manager.

The instrumented KASOTC MOUT site developed by General Dynamics replicates a
real-life urban environment and supports four simultaneous training
operations. The site includes 56 training buildings and a mock A300 aircraft
fuselage; a centralized and integrated Range Operations Center to monitor and
control all audio, video, special effects and target technology; networked
day/night thermal cameras with 360-degree coverage to capture exercises for
After Action Review; sound-effect speakers that project hundreds of realistic
sounds, including shouts, animal noises and gunfire; integrated targetry; and
special effects, such as rooftop explosion with debris, a concussion wave
cannon, an automatic weapons simulator, simulated smells, a fog generator and
an improvised explosive device (IED) kit.

"Providing realistic and high-quality training is paramount to successful
combat readiness," said Zannie Smith, senior vice president of General
Dynamics Information Technology's Army Solutions Division. "We are proud and
excited to be a part of the development and operational team for this premier
training facility. The KASOTC instrumented MOUT site was built with the latest
technology available and allows us to share this expertise with our
government's allies, adding to their combat effectiveness and supporting their
security interests."

The KASOTC is a 500 acre state-of-the-art training center that is the world's
first and largest special forces training facility of its kind, specializing
in counterterrorism and internal security missions. This world-class training
complex is located northeast of Amman, Jordan, and provides an environment for
U.S. allied forces to improve their skills through realistic training
scenarios and combined exercises on common ground where they can learn from
each other's real life operational experience. The site facilitates
multilateral partnerships that leverage participating nations' experience,
expertise and resources. Users will have access to a multi-use tower; 100- and
300-meter live-fire, tactical, driving and urban ranges; and classroom
facilities.

The KASOTC Grand Opening and First Annual Warrior Competition will take place
