Mikros Systems Corporation's Adaptive Diagnostic Electronic Portable Testset
(ADEPT) Earns Top Scores in Navy's Trident Warrior 2009 Experiment

PRINCETON, N.J., Dec 01, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Mikros Systems
Corporation (MKRS), announced today that its Adaptive Diagnostic Electronic
Portable Testset (ADEPT) product received the highest scores possible in the US
Navy's Trident Warrior experiment in 2009.

Mikros demonstrated ADEPT's capability to perform advanced distance support for
the US Navy's Aegis System. During the experiment, ADEPT was used to transfer
health and performance data for the SPY-1 radar using secure data links. This
information was viewed in near-real-time by subject matter experts in California,
while the ship performed maneuvers in the Atlantic Ocean.

Each technology demonstrated during the Trident Warrior experiment receives a
final grade, which is used to establish its overall utility to the Government.
This grade is presented to high-level military planners and is often used to
determine future budgets and resource allocations for the technologies
demonstrated. The Military Utility Assessment process for Trident Warrior 2009
was completed last week and ADEPT received the highest grades possible. "This is
a very important achievement," states Tom Meaney, Mikros President. "We have been
told that ADEPT was one of the best Trident Warrior experiments this year. We
would expect that these stellar results will help us maintain the funding levels
currently proposed for the program, and make it easier to secure the future
funding needed to grow the program in support of other radar and electronic
systems."

The company anticipates the award of a five-year indefinite-delivery,
indefinite-quantity contract for immediate and future procurement of ADEPT
systems, as well as continued research, development, and lifecycle support. This
contract is in the final stages of the Government audit process. Once this is
complete, Mikros anticipates another 30 to 45-day negotiation period before
contract award. The initial award will include orders for 10 to 35 ADEPT systems,
with additional orders for more systems and continued development and support
thereafter. Mikros believes that this contract, if awarded, could generate up to
$4-5 million annually for the Company over the next 5 years.
