COVINGTON, Ky. , June 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Valley Forge Composite Technologies, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: VLYF) announced today recent developments with its operating subsidiaries.
Valley Forge Imaging Systems Inc.'s next-generation advanced Personnel Detection System, ODIN, was validated in March and passed or exceeded ANSI standards. The machines are suitable for virtually any location requiring the screening of people entering the facility and are immediately available for placement in locations worldwide. Valley Forge is presently negotiating with several foreign airports for the placement of multiple ODIN machines.
Valley Forge Detection Systems Inc.'s advanced Explosives Detection System, THOR, is in the final stages of development. Valley Forge recently attended a meeting with a division of the US Army about the development of an IED detection system. The company also has begun negotiations with various foreign governments for the sale and placement of THOR systems. Analysis and feasibility studies are being done, to determine locations suitable for THOR. Expected markets include airports, seaports, cargo terminals and border crossings.
The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, partners with Valley Forge on
the developmental end of THOR, stated on page 17 of their 2005 annual report,
"...In one such project, the laboratory is working with the Lebedev Physical
Institute and Valley Forge Composite Technologies, Inc. on an
accelerator-based device to detect hidden explosives in luggage and cargo. The
explosives-detection system is based on a small-scale electron accelerator
developed by Lebedev. The potential market for this technology is huge; the US
market demand alone is approximately

Valley Forge Aerospace continues to supply aerospace giants such as NASA and Northrop-Grumman with their line of light-weight, unique space instruments. Valley Forge is providing specialized, prototype Attitude Control Instruments to NASA's precise engineering specifications, and has extensive experience in the satellite momentum wheel and bearing fields. Valley Forge's composite rotor is lighter, more stable, and less expensive than metal rotors currently in use, so much so that Valley Forge received the NASA's Director's Award for their Composite Rotor and Space Bearings.
Valley Forge Emerging Technologies continues to closely monitor the marketplace for opportunities to adapt their current and other technologies to new products.
