Syracuse, NY, November 18, 2005 – The United Way’s Success By 6 and the CNY Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) have recently recognized Syracuse Research Corporation (SRC) for their outstanding commitment to create a family-friendly workplace with a Donlon Award. The Donlon and Excellence Awards are given to companies throughout the region recognizing these organizations as Employers of Choice in Central New York.

The program is supported by the Manufacturers' Association of Central New York, the Greater Syracuse Chamber of Commerce, and the Metropolitan Development Association.

About Success By 6
Success By 6 originated in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1989 from a partnership between Honeywell Industries and United Way of Minneapolis. Initially, they were concerned about the quality of the local labor pool and realized that creating employable adults actually begins by investing in children during their early, most inquisitive years. In 1991, Bill Donlon (then President and CEO of Niagara Mohawk) and Mary Ann Shaw (then associate to the Chancellor of Syracuse University) sought to improve the lives of children in our community, who suffered a high infant mortality rate and a low immunization rate. To help combat these issues, Donlon and Shaw began a local Success By 6 in Syracuse, NY. For more information go to www.unitedway-cny.org.

SRC LCMR Named One of U.S. ARMY's Top Ten Greatest Inventions of 2004

Syracuse, NY, June 28, 2005 - Syracuse Research Corporation's Lightweight Counter Mortar Radar was named one of the Army's "Top Ten Greatest Inventions" of the year. The LCMR was developed for the U.S. Army-CECOM, specifically the CERDEC Intelligence and Information Warfare Directorate, at the Fort Monmouth, New Jersey Army base.

The award distinguishes best technological solutions for soldiers, and how these new technologies increase convenience and competence for the Army, on their inventiveness, and on the potential benefit outside the Army. Chosen for their impact on today's Army capabilities, the winners were selected by numerous divisions of the Army including active-duty and training.

Cited as a scientific breakthrough, the LCMR was designed to automatically locate mortar weapons spanning 360 degrees and to be sufficiently lightweight to support insertion by Airborne troops. LCMR is specified to detect and track mortar rounds that area out of range for most mortar weapons and locate the firing weapon with a target location error sufficient to neutralize the shooter with either combat air support or counterfire.

Both Congressman James T. Walsh and Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton are strong supporters of the LCMR program. "I have witnessed firsthand how SRC's Lightweight Counter Mortar Radar is filling a critical need in the protection of our ground based troops in hostile territories abroad," said Rep. Jim Walsh (NY-25). "This recognition by the United States Army is well deserved and a tremendous vote of confidence by the Pentagon in the high technology research and development abilities of the men and women of Syracuse Research. Congratulations all."

Senator Clinton stated that, "This is a well-deserved honor for a home-grown company that is clearly at the forefront of defense research and technology. I am a proud supporter of Syracuse Research because I have seen personally the amazing work they do. Not only are they saving the lives of our men and women in Iraq and Afghanistan every day, they are creating jobs at home and supporting the local economy at the same time. This award is testament to the hard work, innovation and commitment of the team at Syracuse Research and I am so pleased they are being recognized in this way."

Bob Roberts, President & CEO of SRC is scheduled to testify for the House Armed Services Committee, Subcommittee on Tactical Air, Land, and Projection Forces on June 29, 2005 about the acquisition process used to accelerate production of the LCMR. He has been asked to comment on recognizing the critical intersection between product innovation and small business.

Syracuse Research Corporation Awarded Option On Contract Worth Up To $35M

Syracuse, NY, June 15, 2005 - Syracuse Research Corporation has been awarded a $7M Option on a three-year research and development contract to design, build, integrate and test a unique airborne radar system for the U.S. Army’s Communications-Electronics Research, Development and Engineering Center (CERDEC). The total contract (including all options) has a potential value of $35M.

This three-year contract, funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), for the FOPEN Reconnaissance, Surveillance, Tracking and Engagement Radar (FORESTER) will leverage many SRC capabilities. FORESTER is a foliage penetration (FOPEN) radar with both real-time Ground Moving Target Indicator (GMTI) and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) capabilities. The objective of SRC's work on the FORESTER Program is to design, fabricate, integrate, and test a FORESTER system that can detect and track moving targets under dense foliage.

The baseline phase effort (awarded in 2004) was to design and fabricate the FORESTER system and tower-test it. This month, Option One, worth $7M, was awarded. Option One is an 18-month effort to fabricate a second FORESTER system, then integrate and test the FORESTER system on a Black Hawk helicopter. There are two remaining options for which funding has not yet been received: Option Two, to integrate and test the FORESTER system on an A160 Hummingbird helicopter unmanned aerial vehicle, and Option 3, to produce four more FORESTER systems.
