Roke Wins Deal to Supply Black Kite MRAs

ROMSEY, England, November 11, 2010 - Roke Manor Research has been awarded a GBP1.1 million contract by Cobham
Aviation Services to integrate its Miniature Radar Altimeter (MRA) Type 1
into the Black Kite Target for the UK Ministry of Defence.

Black Kite is an airborne towed target that replicates a sea-skimming
missile for air defence missile and gunnery training on board naval ships.
Precise altitude measurements from Roke's MRA will allow accurate, low-level
height positioning down to 25 feet above sea level at 300 knots.

Roke's MRA is the world's smallest radar solution for Unmanned Aerial
Vehicles (UAVs) and aerial targets, freeing up valuable space to maximise
payload. It is also extremely lightweight, 1.5 kg lighter than traditional
radar altimeters, and is designed to 'plug and play' for easy integration
into all major UAV platforms.

Roke has also supplied Cobham with the Telemetry Command Avionics (TCA)
that allow remote reporting and automatic transmission of data from the towed
target back to a central base.

Donald Hardie, Product and Business Development Manager for Roke, said:
"Our MRA technology really is unique as not only is it the smallest in the
world, the feedback we receive is that it is also extremely accurate and
reliable. Add to that the fact that these highly innovative systems are also
35 - 50 percent of the cost of other solutions and you can see why Roke's
MRAs are leading the market in terms of product development and customer
take-up."
