White Electronic Designs Corporation Chairman and CEO Hamid Shokrgozar noted, "We are pleased to receive this production order in support of a combat proven air-to-air missile. Multichip packages or SOCs are viewed as part of the solution for the widening gap between silicon I/O density and the material capabilities of the package and board/substrate. The system designer can customize performance using the most cost-effective silicon solutions from different fabrications all in the same package."

Mr. Shokrgozar continued, "Our dedication to research and development for our military customers continues to be validated by being chosen to provide this type of leading-edge technology. We are proud to provide these mission-critical components that contribute to making our military forces the most sophisticated in the world."

The Company expects to ship these products over the next 24 months.
