KAZAK COMPOSITES INTRODUCES PADD
Precision Aerial Delivery of Dropsondes Is Used for
Antisubmarine Warfare (ASW) Asset Delivery

ARLINGTON, VA, June 7, 2010  – KaZaK Composites, Inc., a premier provider of high value-added composite engineering and design, today announced it has created Precision Aerial Delivery of Dropsondes (PADD), a unique solution for delivering sensors that can improve the placement accuracy of the US Navy's Antisubmarine Warfare (ASW), while protecting both personnel as well as the intended target.

"The Navy's current system delivers unguided sensors that follow a ballistic trajectory, resulting in errors in the actual placement point of the sensors," notes Jerry Fanucci, President/CTO of KaZaK Composites.  "Additionally, the drops are performed at a low altitude in areas that are often hostile, which can endanger air crews and reveal intended targets."  KaZaK's PADD is an air vehicle delivery device coupled with a dropsonde launcher to provide a precision, stand-off delivery capability using existing ASW.  This low-risk solution requires minimal changes to existing ASW equipment, logistics, operations and training.

"With GPS navigation ability, PADD allows for a more precise delivery of payload," Fanucci continues.  "Additionally, the design is low-cost expendable, saving the Navy money."
