Tel-Instrument's T-47G IFF Flight-Line Test Set Receives Official
Certification

    CARLSTADT, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 1, 2004--Tel-Instrument
Electronics Corp is proud to announce the recent certification of its
T-47G Flight Line Test Set for use with DoD Mark XII "Identification
Friend or Foe" (IFF) platforms.
    After a detailed performance assessment the U.S. Department of
Defense AIMS Program Office has verified that the T-47G complies with
all DoD AIMS performance standards. The AIMS Program Office also
examined and approved Tel-Instruments production facility and
acceptance test procedures.
    The DoD International AIMS Program Office (AIMS PO) was
established for the configuration control and oversight responsibility
of the Mark XII IFF architecture, which includes
performance/interoperability evaluation and certification of
sub-systems at both the end item (box) and integrated platform level.
    Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) systems are the primary means
of aircraft identification in Air Defense operations. Proper use of
IFF procedures facilitates rapid engagement of enemy aircraft,
conserves Air Defense assets, and reduces risk to friendly aircraft.
    Mr. Charles Palanzo, the Company's Chief Operating Officer said
"Tel-Instrument is proud that the AIMS PO has certified our T-47G
product. An integral part of the Company's plan is to continue to
strengthen its position in the military marketplace by obtaining
official product certifications and approvals whenever possible. The
T-47G is a multi-function flight-line test set that provides TACAN
(Tactical Air Navigation) test capability in addition to a full suite
of Transponder-Interrogator IFF test capabilities."
