Flight Safety To Receive USAF Award

MYSTIC, CT--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Flight Safety Technologies, Inc. (AMEX: FLT) was notified that it was selected by the U.S. Air Force to receive a Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) contract award to investigate the applicability of its UNICORN airborne radar technology to UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) collision avoidance requirements.

SBIR projects typically involve an initial feasibility study (Phase I) for about $100,000 that is subject to availability of funds and successful negotiation of terms with the government. Successful completion of a Phase I contract may be followed by a proposal for a demonstration (Phase II), which typically is funded at $500,000 to $750,000. Receipt of a Phase I award does not obligate the government to award a Phase II follow-on contract and there can be no assurance as to whether or when the Company will receive a Phase II contract.
