Applied Digital Solutions` Signature Industries Subsidiary to Provide Deep-Water Recovery Beacons to Royal NavyFrench Special Forces and UK Ministry of Defense place trial order for world`s first military search and combat rescue beacon to incorpora PALM BEACH, Fla., Jan 31, 2001 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSX) announced today that its U.K. based Signature Industries Limited has been awarded a contract to supply the Royal Navy with its SARBE 10, a leading edge deep-water recovery beacon. The emergency rescue beacons will be used in the recovery of submarine personnel. Signature has worked in partnership with Beaufort, the world leader in supply of MK10 Submarine survival suits, to develop a rescue system. Signature has designed the beacon to survive to a depth of 350 meters. Delivery of the units will be in July 2001 with technical support extending for a period of up to ten years. Signature has also recently received a trial order from French Special Forces and from the UK Ministry of Defense for their recently launched SARBE 8 combat rescue beacon, the first military search and rescue device to incorporate GPS technology. Mercedes Walton, President and COO for Applied Digital Solutions, commented: "The tragedy with the Russian submarine Kursk shows us that even in times of relative peace, the need for members of the armed forces to have a reliable means of signaling location in times of distress is imperative. We see a great opportunity to leverage our existing partnerships for the armed forces and government agencies of other countries, including the U.S. These sorts of contracts could, in the future, lay the groundwork for deployment of Digital Angel technology to these same markets." Ms. Walton concluded: "Applied Digital Solutions commitment to providing comprehensive communications solutions on a global level is epitomized in this critical area of military and intelligence safety." About SARBE 10 and SARBE 8 The SARBE 10 SPLB is a new survival radio designed specifically for use by submarine crews. The beacon is designed for immediate activation prior to commencement of the escape procedure to ensure that the SPLB is transmitting on reaching the surface. SARBE 8 is the first military search and rescue device to incorporate GPS, allowing pin-point accuracy of the location of a downed pilot or combat team. Applied Digital Solutions provides the total solution for the recovery through "Sarfind", the recovery decoder. Sarfind is carried onto the search vehicle and displays the GPS coordinates, facilitating accurate and speedy recovery of the personnel. SARBE 8 also has a speech facility, and can be programmed with up to 200 frequencies. The GPS coordinates are protected from enemy intelligence by programming the Sarfind to the SARBE 8 prior to operation commencement.
