Making One Of World's Most Secure Airlines Even More Secure

US Global Aerospace says it's received new orders totaling $1,440,500 for 38 of the Company's Guardian™ Cockpit Security doors. The new orders include doors for El Al Israel Airlines' Boeing 737, 747, 757 and 767 fleets, and Aer Lingus' Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 fleets. The USGA Guardian™ door is the only enhanced security flight deck door that has passed the Israeli Security Agency's (ISA) extensive testing and been determined by the ISA to meet its rigorous standards.

Above And Beyond Requirements

"It has been our intention all along to provide a flight deck security solution that went above and beyond the FAA mandated minimum requirements," said John Robinson, Chairman and CEO of US Global Aerospace, Inc. "We believe these orders from Israel and Ireland-based airlines is testament to our success. These two countries have more experience with the terrorist threat than the rest of the world combined. They take security matters very seriously -- to them it is much more than a public relations exercise. They actually accept it as a matter of life or death."

US Global Aerospace's Guardian™ Door combines kinetic energy absorbers, lightweight G-Lam(TM) anti-ballistic material and USGA's proprietary passive vent system to provide access security and ballistic and decompression protection to the flight crew while eliminating the need for costly and time consuming airframe structural enhancements. The US Global passive vent system is designed to safely handle rapid decompression events unlike traditional louvers or pop open vents, which have been known to cause injuries upon activation. The Guardian(TM) Door costs from $40,000 to $180,000 depending on aircraft and configuration and can be installed in under eight hours.

Don't Forget To Lock It

The Guardian™ Door was developed specifically to comply with FAA regulations requiring that all US-registered commercial transport airlines and all foreign air carriers operating within the United States install a reinforced cockpit door to prevent unauthorized access to the cockpit. International counterparts to the FAA are also requiring the installation of secure cockpit doors in the worlds' fleets by November 2003.

The durability, strength and low weight of the Guardian™ Door comes from US Global Aerospace's proprietary G-Lam™ nano-fiber anti-ballistic material, created with a patent-pending computer-designed weaving process that results in a crimp-free material with tensile performance far superior to common anti-ballistic composite materials.
