AEgis Largest Provider of 3D Visualization for Unmanned Systems

Huntsville, AL (October 18, 2011) – The AEgis Technologies Group is now the largest provider of 3D
visualization and embedded training devices for unmanned systems. More than 2,700 licenses have
been purchased for Vampire™ (Visualization and Mission Planning Integrated Rehearsal Environment)
embedded training software for Raven, Wasp and Puma AE small unmanned air vehicles. AEgis is
delivering licenses to the U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy Special Warfare elements and U.S. Marine
Corps.

“All of us at AEgis Technologies are extremely excited about the success of the Vampire™ training
product,” said AEgis President & CEO Steve Hill. “We are continually receiving exceptionally positive
feedback directly from the warfighters about the effectiveness of this tool for familiarization, training,
and mission rehearsal. It is very gratifying for our team to ‘Make a Difference’ as that is our primary
corporate mission.”

“The realism achieved by using sub-meter high resolution imagery, digital terrain elevation data,
geospecific cultural features, and combat driven scenarios for this embedded training system is clearly
what the soldiers needed and wanted,” said David King, AEgis Vice President for Simulation
Development. “Working closely with Aerovironment, Army and SOF trainers, and taking direction from
US Army UAS Product and Capability Managers to derive the realistic training environment was
paramount throughout the development process.”

Through collaboration with AeroVironment, Inc. (AV) (NASDAQ:AVAV), AEgis has developed and
delivered the Vampire™ simulation software as an embedded training capability that is hosted on the
currently fielded UAS operator’s equipment, requiring no additional hardware. Vampire™ software
provides a 3D virtual environment that allows operators to train and rehearse operator and missionlevel tasks for each system.

Closely integrated and correlated with the FalconView™ flight planning software currently used by UAS
operators, Vampire™ creates the virtual environment for training operator tasks such as route and
mission planning as well as in-flight tasks such as target tracking and reaction to emergency procedures.

Vampire™ also provides tactical training scenarios on geospecific terrain databases built from satellite
source imagery to produce visual quality that matches that of the actual systems, permitting operators
to conduct mission rehearsals in remote areas of operation prior to deployment.
