Camgian Microsystems Awarded $1.4 Million Contract to Deliver
Advanced Unattended Ground Sensor Technologies to the Department of Defense

STARKVILLE, M.S. – April 7, 2008 – Camgian Microsystems has entered a partnership with Mississippi State University (MSU) to develop an advanced ground surveillance technology for the US Department of Defense. Camgian will provide MSU with the requirements, sensor prototyping and system engineering and design for the project through a $1.4 million contract.

The program is aimed at providing the DoD with a highly, innovative ground sensor and global communications technology that can provide persistent surveillance of critical ground targets in difficult sensing environments such as foliage and urban terrain. The program is targeted to leverage state-of-the-art technologies in microelectronics, electro-optics and satellite communications to develop a low-power surveillance system that will outperform existing wireless sensor networking technologies in the areas of detection range, system robustness, communications latency and endurance.

"Camgian aims to pioneer a new generation of advanced low-power sensor technologies that will significantly improve battlefield situational awareness for our warfighers," said Gary Butler, Camgian President and CEO. "This program leverages our extensive experience in advanced sensors and low-power microelectronics to develop a new class of surveillance technologies that are smaller, lower-power and cheaper than existing systems."
