“If you look at the growth potential of the company, we are significantly under valued and this presents a great opportunity for investors. Secondly, there is the positioning of the company over the last two years and the progress we have made in opening some of the largest markets in the world that have not been available to us in the past...” - Kenneth H. Kirkpatrick (OSI) (Interview published December 7, 2007) |

(TSX: OSI)(OTCBB: OSIIF) announced today that its U.S. Systems Operations signed a contract valued at approximately US $925,000 with Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT)'s Undersea Systems business unit to supply the Brazilian Navy with 6 ECPINS(R) submarine navigations systems. These systems will be integrated into Lockheed Martin's Submarine Integrated Combat Systems (ICS) that will be delivered to the Brazilian Navy. "Lockheed Martin values OSI Geospatial as a key navigation technology solution provider for the Brazilian submarine program," said Larry Fox, Lockheed Martin program manager, International Submarines. "We are pleased that Lockheed Martin has embraced our world leading submarine navigation technology. Our relationship with Lockheed Martin is extremely important to us, as they can provide access to markets that would be very difficult to develop on our own," says Ken Kirkpatrick, president and CEO of OSI Geospatial. "Lockheed Martin has provided advanced submarine combat systems to many navies around the world; some of the upgrades to these systems will now include our advanced submarine technology. This contract is evidence that our strategy to establish partnerships with large naval systems integrators that significantly increase the size of our sales channel is working." There are hundreds of submarines operating around the world. OSI continues to make significant advances in the development of their submarine navigation technology and in developing partnerships with companies that can provide increased market access. OSI is a leader in the emerging submarine navigation market; their submarine technology has been deployed by the UK Royal Navy, as well as the Canadian, Australian, and Portuguese Navies.
