Arotech Receives $2 Million David Order

AUBURN, AL, Jun 01 (MARKET WIRE) --
Arotech Corporation (NASDAQ: ARTX) announced today that its Armor
Division has received orders valued at $2 million for its David Light
Armored Vehicle. This order comes as the Company has completed delivery
on a previous $23 million order of David vehicles and spare parts.

The David is a lightweight armored vehicle based on a Land Rover heavy
duty Defender platform. The David has been selected by the Israel Defense
Force (IDF) as its standard armored reconnaissance and patrol vehicle,
and is operating hundreds of them already.

The David has been involved in numerous terror attacks, withstanding
assault weapons and various explosive devices, saving the lives of its
occupants.

The new order contributed to Arotech's corporate backlog, which now totals
$35 million.

"The David has become a key product in MDT portfolio, and its success is
clearly evident," said Robert Ehrlich, Arotech's Chairman and CEO. "We are
now starting to market into markets outside of Israel."
