Digital Angel's SARBE Unit Receives Orders From Malaysian Air Force And Navy
St. Paul MN (SPX) Jun 12, 2008 Digital Angel has announced that its SARBE division has concluded negotiations for the supply of equipment with a combined value of approximately US$2.7 million to the Malaysian Armed Forces. Delivery of all equipment is due by the end of Q2 '09. The Company will supply its high-performance SARBE G2R Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) along with associated spares, support equipment and training. The SARBE G2R PLB will be carried by aircrews operating fixed and rotary wing aircraft in the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) and Navy (RMN) for use in emergencies to summon assistance. The equipment supplied replaces older SARBE equipment that will soon become obsolete due to upgraded search and rescue satellite systems. This purchase by the Malaysian government illustrates its commitment to equip their pilots and air crew with the best survival equipment available. The selection of G2R followed a rigorous selection process where all alternative products were considered. Technical superiority and the high level of support given by Signature were cited as key reasons for selection. Joseph J. Grillo, Chief Executive Officer of Digital Angel, said, "Our SARBE division has a history of over 20 years supplying the Malaysian Armed Forces with PLBs, and we are delighted to continue our association with this prestigious military organization."
