At June 30, 2007 , the Company reported working capital of
The revenues were mainly from the Company's two major contracts: (1) the development and manufacture of the ADEPT(R) test and maintenance tool for the SPY-1 radar; and (2) the development of the AIRchitect-EMC wireless network afloat planning tool under the Radar Wireless Spectral Efficiency (RWSE) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II program.
The ADEPT (Adaptive Diagnostic Electronic Portable Testset) product line grew out of an SBIR Phase I award in 2002 and now encompasses two variants, the ADEPT(V)1 with its flexible expansion capabilities and the more portable ADEPT(V)2 which is half the size and weight. Both units can be viewed on the Mikros website at http://www.mikros.us/ADEPT.htm.
ADEPT has been extensively and successfully tested at both land-based facilities and aboard U.S. Navy ships, including the USS BUNKER HILL (CG-52), the USS SAN JACINTO (CG-56) and the USS PHILIPPINE SEA (CG-58). Mikros is currently funded to extend the applicability of ADEPT to all the AN/SPY-1 variants in the Aegis fleet of 84 warships. Its Navy customer is also encouraging Mikros, and Mikros has begun, to study the applicability of ADEPT to other complex electronic systems aboard these ships, such as certain electronic warfare equipment which is part of every warship's complement. The Company continues to aggressively market ADEPT, which has been proven to improve the maintainability and readiness of our Aegis warships. The Company is working with its Navy customer to plan for future procurements through Navy program funding and hopes to continue to receive congressional support for this program.
Mikros will be showing ADEPT this September in Baltimore , MD at the AUTOTESTCON Systems Readiness Technology Conference, the premier tradeshow for automatic test systems for U.S. military systems. At this show, Mikros will be introducing its new product, a virtual instrumentation chassis based on the ADEPT(V)2 custom design, for the commercial and military automated test system markets.
The RWSE program began as an SBIR Phase I award in 2004 and has progressed to a Phase II program which has resulted in the software product AIRchitect-EMC. Based on wireless (RF) surveys aboard the USS GEORGE WASHINGTON (CVN-73), the USS BATAAN (LHD-5), and the USS KEARSARGE (LHD-3), AIRchitect-EMC is an interference aware planning tool for commercial wireless networks (Wi-Fi and WiMAX) aboard U.S. Navy warships. This contract was expanded in May 2007 to perform U.S. Navy weaponry kill chain vulnerability analyses based on the RF interference expertise gained during the AIRchitect-EMC development.
Under new programs, Mikros was recently awarded a
