FAIRFAX, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 28, 2004
Xybernaut(R) Corporation (NASDAQ:XYBR) has recently attracted attention from several news outlets primarily related to the Company's deployment at the Robins Air Force Base (AFB) in support of the 116th Air Control Wing.
WHEN/WHERE: Selected samples of recent coverage include the following
(in bibliographic format):
-- April 21, 2004, Air Force Link News -- Tim Beckham, "Wearable
Computers Move to the Flightline"
http://www.af.mil/news/story.asp?storyID=123007534
Excerpts: The small personal computers can be worn either
on the chest or hip and are being tested as a possible
replacement for printed manuals currently used.
"With (the) integrated electronic technical manual, the
flightline mechanic will have access to a wealth of
information needed to perform (his or her) duties," said
Tech. Sgt. Matt Jones, the electronic manual's project
manager.
"Having these tools at the maintainers' fingertips is
actually a virtual office on the flightline," said Col.
Terry Kinney, 116th MXG commander. "It will have much of
the same desktop software that we currently use, like
e-mail capabilities and the capabilities to identify,
order, ship and pay for parts directly from the
flightline."
-- May 17, 2004, The Macon Telegraph, Gen Rector, "Wearable
Computers Opening New World for Aircraft Mechanics."

Excerpts: "Aircraft mechanics in the 116th Air Control
Wing don't have to go by the office these days. They carry
it with them - hung around their necks or strapped to
their waist.
Maintainers from the Joint STARS unit at Robins Air Force
Base have been testing "wearable" wireless computers over
the past several months, and they're finding that the
24-ounce devices open a new world of information access
and mobility.
Xybernaut, a Fairfax, Va., company, developed the hardware
and Northrop Grumman added Web-based software known as
Phoenix. The resulting package ties the flightline
mechanic to a vast array of information for servicing the
Boeing 707 airframe used by the ground surveillance wing.
"The mechanics can access virtually anything," said Tech.
Sgt. Matt Jones, software manager for the testing project.
"They have immediate access to work cards, checklists,
illustrated parts breakdowns, wiring diagrams,
trouble-shooting procedures. They can also access existing
or previous write-ups or problems on the aircraft. We have
101 units right now and we're getting 50 more. Every
maintenance person will have access to one. That means we
can deploy to any hot spot in the world, set up the
wireless network and get information real-time."
