in Support of the Radar Scene Generation Program for the Aegis Combat System BILLERICA, Massachusetts, March 30, 2006 - CSP Inc. (NASDAQ: CSPI) MultiComputer Division, a leading supplier of embedded high-performance cluster computing systems, today announced that Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) has selected the FastCluster 2000 SERIES for its real-time computing platform in support of the Radar Scene Generation (RSG) Program. The RSG provides a test and evaluation resource at the U.S. Navy's Combat System Engineering Development Site (CSEDS) for the Aegis Combat System (ACS) in Moorestown, N.J. "Lockheed Martin's selection of our embedded cluster validates and reinforces CSPI's commitment to delivering an open scalable platform capable of supporting the most demanding real-time computing requirements," said William E. Bent, Jr., General Manager and Vice President of CSPI MultiComputer Division. Utilizing the FastCluster platform reduces development time, efforts and costs for the RSG program and supports the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)'s code reuse vision of "write once, run everywhere." Specifically, the RSG program will take advantage of the outstanding performance of the FastCluster 2942 6U blades that incorporate all industry-standard software, highly optimized math libraries and the Message Passing Interface (MPI) for interprocessor communication. Fulfilling Lockheed Martin's stringent program requirements, the FastCluster 2000 SERIES is a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware and software scalable platform delivering real-time signal processing, optimized performance, code re-use and portability, a flexible design and field scalability. CSPI shipped several FastCluster systems, for an approximate value of $1 million, in support of the first phase of the program. Follow-on orders are expected to fulfill the requirements of the RSG program.
