CAESAREA, ISRAEL, Apr 06 (MARKET WIRE) --
Acro, Inc. (OTCBB: ACRI), a leading manufacturer of explosive detection
solutions for the homeland security market and related sectors, today
announced that the Company has received a purchase order for its
ACRO-P.E.T., ACRO-N.E.T., ACRO-CH.E.T., and ACRO-U.E.T. explosive
detection devices from a division of the U.S. Army.
"This order is very important for us because it continues our momentum in
the United States and could further increase market adoption of our
cutting-edge explosive detection solutions," said Gadi Aner, CEO and
Chairman of Acro, Inc.
The ACRO-P.E.T. is the first explosives identifier of its kind, effective
against TATP and other Peroxide Based IEDs. It is light, easy to use and
gives instant results, even when explosive quantities are small. The
novel portable 'micro-laboratory,' ACRO-N.E.T., with its sensitive,
simple, rapid, precise and reliable operation, revolutionizes the field
task of police and other security agencies in the detection and
identification of explosives. ACRO-CH.E.T. (Chlorate Explosives Tester)
is light, easy to use and gives instant results, even when explosive
quantities are small. ACRO-CH.E.T. has low false positive and negative
alarm rates, is very sensitive, and can detect 10 micrograms of chlorate
based explosives traces.
This initial purchase order will be used to determine the suitability of
Acro's explosive detection devices for certain U.S. Army units. The order
is expected to ship within few weeks.
