ICx Awarded Detect-To-Protect Contract for Mass Transit Security

IBAC Sensors to Provide Real Time Detection for Bio-Threat Pilot Program
ARLINGTON, Va.--(Business Wire)--
ICx Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq GS: ICXT), a developer of advanced sensor
technologies for homeland security, force protection and commercial
applications, announced today that it has been awarded a Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) contract to participate in a FY2010 mass transit security pilot
program. The focus of this pilot deployment is to test new sensors that can
rapidly detect and identify the potential release of a bio-threat agent as part
of the DHS S&T Detect-to-Protect (D2P) Project. The D2P Project is focused on
developing rapid biological detection technologies and sensor network
architectures for indoor environments. For this pilot deployment, a network of
rapid response bio-detectors will be evaluated in a mass transit system. The
pilot program is anticipated to begin in early 2010.

As part of the program activities, ICx will provide IBAC real time biological
aerosol threat monitors and additional advanced prototype sensor hardware. The
IBAC is a continuously operating indoor or outdoor monitor that provides early
warning of an airborne biological agent attack. The IBAC facilitates the process
of identifying bio-terror agents to allow timely containment, treatment and
remediation.

"We are enthusiastic about the opportunity to further display the capabilities
of our bio-threat detection technologies," said Wayne Bryden, Chief Science
Officer for ICx Technologies. "As part of the Detect-to-Protect Program, we have
and continue to develop cutting edge sensors for the detection and
identification of biological agents. We look forward to demonstrating the
performance of the IBAC and other biological threat sensors in a mass transit
facility."

Specifics pertaining to the exact transit system locations and the value of the
contract are not being released. For more information on the IBAC and other ICx
