Arotech wins UAV battery development contract

(Israel Business Arena Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge)Arotech (Nasdaq: ARTX) announced last week that its Electric Fuel subsidiary was awarded a development contract to develop a high energy density rechargeable lithium battery and smart charger from a supplier of Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs). The supplier was described as "world-leading," but was not named, nor was the volume of the contract disclosed.



The batteries and chargers will be used to power the company's man-packed, hand-launched UAV, used for close range, over-the-hill reconnaissance missions.

To date, Arotech has received several development contracts for powering UAVs, which includes both primary and rechargeable batteries and chargers.



Earlier this month, Arotech received a deslisting warning from Nasdaq due to the belief that Arotech's annual report for 2005 was deficient. Arotech stated in reponse that it planned to appeal.
