Huntsville, AL., August 2, 2006 – Chandler/May’s Shelter Division recently delivered to AAI Corporation the 100th Ground Control Shelter for the Shadow Tactical Unmanned Air Vehicle (TUAV). AAI Corporation, a subsidiary of United Industrial Corporation (NYSE: UIC) is the prime for the Shadow.

Chandler/May Inc.’s UAV Shelter division builds the Shadow Tactical Unmanned Aircraft Ground Control Shelter for AAI Corporation. The Shelter is currently operational in several military deployments. The Shelters are built in Huntsville at CMI’s new 25,000 square foot Engineering and Production building.

The Shelters utilize a wide range of CMI capabilities, including the latest in machine shop technology, cable fabrication and rugged systems packaging as well as the incorporation of high-end embedded VME Sun based workstations, video and communications products.

Chandler/May, Inc. has reduced the Shelter build time from 6 month to 4 weeks. The Ground Control Shelter Case Study gives complete integration and detailed product information on this project, including the benefits of the Shadow TUAV system in combat and the processes involved in building the shelter.
