Analogic Receives Order for Enhancement of New OnGuard checkpoint CT System

PEABODY, Mass., Aug. 17, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Analogic Corporation
(Nasdaq:ALOG) announced today that it has received funding from the U.S.
Transportation Security Administration (TSA) for the enhancement of its new
OnGuard checkpoint CT System. Suited for small and medium-sized airports, the
OnGuard(TM) DualUse scanner will provide unique advance threat detection
capabilities in both checkpoint and checked-baggage applications. Delivery of
the first evaluation system is slated for the Company's first fiscal quarter
2010, which ends on October 31, 2009.

The OnGuard DualUse system will extend the flexible, automatic explosives and
weapons detection capability currently available in larger airports to a wide
range of smaller airports. Built on Analogic's proprietary 3-D Continuous-Flow
computed tomography technology, the OnGuard system will be designed to
accurately and automatically detect a wide variety of threats in both checked
and carry-on baggage. In checkpoint mode, the OnGuard DualUse system will be
configured to scan up to 450 bags and process more than 250 passengers per hour.
In checked-baggage mode, it will be configured to scan up to 350 bags per hour.
The system will include advanced liquid detection technology, reducing the need
for passengers to remove liquids from their carry-on bags.

Peter Cempellin, VP and GM of Analogic's Security Systems Division, said, "This
project is an important milestone as Analogic expands its market opportunity
outside the checked-baggage arena. The OnGuard DualUse scanner will give smaller
airports a cost-effective way to take advantage of CT technology for threat
detection. We have also developed the capability to detect liquid explosives,
giving passengers the added convenience of leaving liquids in their bags."

The introduction of the OnGuard system is an important step forward in providing
advanced automatic threat detection capability to every airport. Small and
mid-size airports, which typically rely on labor-intensive explosive trace
detection (ETD) to screen checked baggage, can now take advantage of the most
advanced explosives detection available. With the advent of dual-mode
capability, this system can be used in checkpoint applications to detect weapons
in carry-on luggage.
