Mikros Systems Corporation Announces First Quarter Results; Expects Increased Awards Throughout 2009

Princeton, NJ /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ May 15, 2009 – Mikros Systems Corporation (OTCBB: MKRS - News), announced today the results of the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2009.  The Company reported revenue of $507,310 and a net loss of $9,879.  The loss was due to delays in receiving follow-on contracts from the Federal Government.

Operational highlights for 2009 include:

• Anticipated delivery of eight ADEPT Units to the US Navy for training and maintenance support facilities.
• Recent award to deliver four additional ADEPT units for the USS Mobile Bay (CG-53) and the USS Philippine Sea (CG-58)
• Subcontract from Northrop Grumman in support of the Navy’s next generation command and control processor program
• Contract modification to provide follow-on network design studies for the USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78)

Despite the small loss in the first quarter, the Company reports that its pipeline remains strong and believes its prospects for additional orders in the second half of 2009 are excellent.  Tom Meaney, President of Mikros stated, “We expect new production orders for up to 30 units of the ADEPT system by the end of the Government fiscal year. In June, we will be participating in the Navy’s annual Trident Warrior exercise to demonstrate advanced “distance support” capabilities in ADEPT. During this exercise, ADEPT will be used to provide shore-based personnel increased performance monitoring capabilities for shipboard radar systems using standard Navy communications networks.  Distance support can provide large maintenance cost savings to the Navy by reducing the need for ship visits, and is expected to be another driver for wider adoption of ADEPT.  ADEPT is now being used by the Navy for the AN/SPY-1 radar and applications for other Navy radars and electronic systems are currently under investigation.  Within the next 3 to 5 years, we anticipate all US Navy Cruiser and Destroyers will have an ADEPT onboard. We are also exploring multiple Foreign Military Sales opportunities and other military applications for ADEPT.”

Mr. Meaney continued, “Our wireless communications R&D programs are also doing well.  We have completed new upgrades to the AIRchitect-EMC network design tool for the Navy. We are currently using this application develop wireless networks for the next-generation aircraft carrier CVN-78. We have also teamed with a major prime contractor to propose wireless network design capabilities for the forthcoming CANES program (Consolidated Afloat Network Enterprise Services).  NAVAIR has contracted with us to develop a tactical network simulation tool for mission planning. We anticipate follow-on funding for further development of this high-priority Navy capability, which could be available for operational use in 12-18 months.”
