Executive Commentary

We're very happy to see our new radio gain this important certification. The aim is to get these radios to those who need them as quickly as possible, and this STC helps integrators make that happen. This acknowledgement makes it even easier for those on the front lines battling intense wildfires to have the most up-to-date communication equipment at their fingertips. There is an addressable market of more than 3,000 radios that could potentially be replaced with this technology within the next few years representing a strong market for AEM moving forward. This is a great achievement and milestone for AEM on the road towards full acceptance by the USFS and a reflection of the commitment, skills and experience of the entire AEM team. This announcement follows on from Boeing's confirmation that the Company's CVM™ Smart Sensor Solutions have successfully met all outstanding Aft Pressure Bulkhead (APB) tests on the path towards critical submission to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for approval and signals an exciting period for the Company moving forward.
