DHB Industries Receives $14 Million Delivery Order for Dorsal Axillary Protection System (D.A.P.S.)

WESTBURY, N.Y., Feb. 22  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- DHB Industries Inc. (AMEX:DHB), announced today that its subsidiary, Point Blank Body Armor, has received a $14 million delivery order from the U.S. Army Robert Morris Acquisition Center for its Dorsal Axillary Protection System (D.A.P.S.). Point Blank, an innovator in body armor, recognized the need for new and enhanced body armor technologies and began development in May 2004 of its D.A.P.S. in order to complement Interceptor(TM) Outer Tactical Vest (OTV) System.

U.S. Armed Forces worldwide currently wear Point Blank's Interceptor(TM) OTV, which has been credited for saving the lives of many soldiers.  While Point Blank's Interceptor OTV provides protection to the torso from the fragmentary effects of improvised explosive devices (IEDs), its D.A.P.S system provides additional protection by shielding the under arm, shoulder and upper arm areas not currently covered by Interceptor(TM).
