Plasan Announces Delivery of 750 Armor Kits

M-ATV Subcontractor On Schedule to Provide Armored Protection to U.S. Troops
in Afghanistan

BENNINGTON, Vt., Oct. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Plasan, a global leader in the field
of combat-proven survivability and armor solutions for vehicles, airborne
platforms and personal protection, today announced the delivery of 750 armor
kits for the U.S. Army's MRAP All Terrain Vehicles (M-ATV) as a subcontractor
to Wisconsin-based Oshkosh Defense. Today's delivery meets the latest
production milestone in the contract awarded by U.S. Department of Defense to
produce 4,296 M-ATVs for deployment in Afghanistan.

Mr. Dan Ziv, President and CEO of Plasan, says: "We are proud of our continued
success in meeting this ambitious production schedule. Plasan's employees in
Bennington have a personal stake in protecting soldiers serving in
Afghanistan. As the Vermont National Guard begins to mobilize for its largest
deployment since World War II, Plasan's employees are doing their part to
protect their friends and neighbors while they are serving abroad. At Plasan,
the war fighter is our first priority."

In July, the U.S. Department of Defense awarded a $1.05 billion contract
awarded to a team led by Wisconsin-based Oshkosh Corporation and Plasan North
America to produce 2,244 M-ATVs for deployment in Afghanistan. In August,
Plasan won an additional contract for the delivery of 1,700 armor kits as an
Oshkosh subcontractor. In September, Plasan and Oshkosh were awarded an
additional order for 352 more M-ATV armor kits.

Plasan credits this rapid delivery capacity to the application of its modular
Kitted Hull concept. Under this concept, developed by Plasan, all armor parts
and components are sent to the vehicle's manufacturer where they are applied
to the vehicle at the assembly line, thereby allowing for future upgrades and
more efficient manufacture. Kitted Hull technology enables manufacturers to
better use subcontractors for the rapid and cost-effective assembly of armored
vehicles, responding quickly to increases in production volume as the needs of
the end-users change.
