Ampex Data Systems Receives Large Order From Boeing Commercial Aircraft

  
    
  
  
    
      Ampex Data Systems Corporation, a subsidiary of Ampex Corporation 
      (NASDAQ:AMPX) has received an additional $3.2 million order from Boeing 
      Commercial Aircraft Corporation, Seattle, Washington, for Ampex DSRs440 
      and DSRs500 airborne recorders, and for high-capacity disk and 
      solid-state memory modules. The DSRs440 has a proven track record in 
      wideband data acquisition. DSRs440 recorders have logged hundreds of 
      missions on military and commercial aircraft, collecting radar, image 
      sensor and flight test data. The flexible architecture and high 
      bandwidth memory of the DSRs440 allow it to be configured for 
      traditional mission-specific data collection as well as for modern 
      network-centric data acquisition. Real-time playback and data extraction 
      while recording allows on–the-fly evaluation 
      of measurement data. The DSRs500 is an in-service avionic network 
      recorder supporting a variety of network protocols for control and data 
      acquisition. These DSRs recorder products will be used in various Boeing 
      7x7 flight test programs.
    
    
      This follow-on contract is the latest in a series of contracts that Data 
      Systems has received from Boeing since 2005 for flight test 
      applications. Data Systems has over fifty years of experience in the 
      development, manufacturing and support of state-of-the-art data and 
      video recorders for airborne and shipboard applications operating in 
      extreme environments.
