RADA to Receive a $1.6 Million Purchase Order From Lockheed Martin Aeronautics

Monday April 4, 12:27 pm ET

NATANYA, Israel, April 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- RADA Electronic Industries
Ltd. (NASDAQ: RADI - News) announced today that it has received a $1.6 million
purchase order, from Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company, to provide the Israeli
Air Force with "Reality" - an advanced flight debriefing system and Squadron
Information Management Network (SIMNet). The systems will be supplied to the IAF
during the third quarter of 2005.

The "Reality" flight debriefing system is a network centric data management
system that provides advanced post flight debriefing including video, audio and
Air Combat Maneuvering Instrumentation (ACMI), using digital data recordings
from the aircraft. The "Reality" is the first operationally fielded, digital
video debriefing system in the world.

RADA entered the digital video arena in 2001 during the Israel "Peace Marble V"
program where, together with Smiths, a complete digital video and data transfer
equipment was installed onboard the new Israeli Air Force F-16I aircraft,
complemented with the "Reality" debriefing and Squadron Information Management
Network. In 2003 RADA was awarded a contract by the Chilean Air Force, to
replace the V-83 tape recorders with digital video recorders and Ground
Debriefing Systems as part of the "Peace Puma" F-16 program.

Commenting on the contract, Zvi Alon, RADA's Vice President of Business
Development said, "This contract places RADA as a prime provider of flight
debriefing systems to more than half of the Israeli Air Force, with
installations onboard the A-4 trainer aircraft, through the F-16A/B to the most
advanced F-16I squadrons."
