 New York (SPX) Jan 31, 2005
 Arotech Corporation has announced that its Batteries and Power Systems Division has received a second development contract from a major US agency. Under the contract, Arotech's Electric Fuel Battery Corporation subsidiary will develop prototype zinc-air batteries for small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to achieve extended flight times. The funding is expected to cover development costs.

Arotech has previously announced contracts with an Israeli Defense Agency to develop prototype zinc-air batteries for Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) and has demonstrated that its 4th generation zinc-air batteries achieve longer mission durations than that of high performance Lithium batteries.

In addition, this novel technology is being funded separately by BAA and Plus Up frameworks.

"We have developed very high-power, lightweight batteries from our most advanced zinc-air cells, to extend the flight time of small UAVs and MAVs," said Robert S. Ehrlich, Arotech Chairman and CEO.

"The Unmanned Aerial Vehicle market is growing and we are excited by the success of our 4th generation technology to extend flight times of these vehicles."
