Aria International Holdings, Inc., through its wholly-owned
subsidiary Aria International Incorporated, a Nevada corporation
(�Aria International�) (OTC BB:ARAH), which is focused on providing
specialized surveillance and communications solutions to a global
customer base is pleased to announce today that it has purchased
advanced digital stabilized multi-sensor camera systems from Axsys
Technologies Inc. Axsys Technologies Inc. (�Axsys�) (NASDAQ:AXYS),
is a leading designer and manufacturer of precision surveillance
cameras and optical solutions for defense, aerospace, homeland
security and high-performance commercial applications.
Aria purchased five (5) V14 MSII fully-digital, four-axis
stabilized, multi-sensor cameras that provide exceptional aerial
surveillance and detection capabilities for law enforcement,
military and public utilities applications. The systems purchased
by Aria combine the latest in IR and high-definition EO sensor
technology. The V14 MSII's EO and IR sensor technology, superior
stabilization, unmatched continuous zoom capabilities and multiple
payload options, delivers high-performance, flawlessly precise
images ideal for the Aria surveillance solution to the Royal Thai
Army (RTA).
The RTA selected Aria International Incorporated and Axsys after
a number of real-time flight demonstrations were conducted in
December 2008 in the United States. Aria International Incorporated
previously announced the RTA contract on April 30, 2009. Under this
contract, Aria International is responsible for integrating all
system components and delivering a complete turn-key solution,
conducting initial operations and continuing maintenance tasks as
well as providing the training to the RTA personnel on the use of
the equipment.
The RTA surveillance and communications solution consists of a
manned airship equipped with special state-of-the-art imaging and
communications systems and upgrades to existing command and control
facilities to allow for the receipt of real-time surveillance data.
The airship will be accompanied with a state-of-the-art Mobile
Command and Control Vehicle. Aria International will train Royal
Thai Army personnel to pilot and effectively utilize and maintain
the deployed surveillance and communications systems. In addition
to the Axsys cameras on the airship, Aria International will also
install and integrate the Axsys V14 MSII high-definition day/night
camera systems on select Royal Thai Army helicopters. President of
Aria International, Mr. Mike �Bing� Crosby, stated: �the employment
of the Axsys stabilized multi-sensor cameras in a manned airship
and in RTA helicopters provides the Royal Thai Army another system
with the necessary capabilities it requires to counter the
increased insurgent activity and threats of crime, drug trafficking
and terrorism.�
�Axsys cameras are known for their superior imaging capabilities
and proven performance in the field,� stated Aled Miles, Vice
President and General Manager of Axsys' Stabilized Camera Systems
Group. �Our V14 MSII systems are used by a growing number of law
enforcement and government agencies to assist in aerial
surveillance we are extremely gratified that Aria and the Kingdom
of Thailand selected the MSII for the surveillance operations in
Thailand."
