Wave Dispersion Technologies, Inc. Signs Partnership Agreement with Abu Dhabi’s International Golden Group, Initial Value in excess of $100 million US
Wave Dispersion Technologies, Inc. Signs Partnership Agreement with Abu Dhabi’s International Golden Group, Initial Value in excess of $100 million USD
WhisprWave Floating Security Barrier Solutions (FSB’s) Deployed for the Protection of Critical Maritime Infrastructure in UAE
Abu Dhabi, UAE, Summit, NJ, March 2, 2009- Wave Dispersion Technologies, Inc. (WDT) and International Golden Group (IGG) have entered into a strategic partnership agreement for the provision of Floating Security Barriers (FSB) / Vessel Exclusion Barriers (VEB) to be installed at critical maritime infrastructure sites in the UAE encompassing oil, gas, power generation, and desalination facilities.
The contract covers 3 years, including the initial contract period with options, and has a value of USD $100 million, if all options are exercised and performance incentives are achieved. The initial production of the contract is being manufactured in Norfolk, VA, USA. The contract provides that WDT will utilize its WhisprWaveÒ Technology to ultimately manufacture FSB components locally in the UAE and provide related maritime services in support of the protective systems.
The initial phase of this agreement is to undertake a pilot project at one of the critical maritime infrastructure sites in Abu Dhabi. Following a successful pilot project with security issues achieved as planned, the partnership agreement will be extended to cover other critical maritime infrastructure sites within the UAE.
The FSB is designed with inherent flexibility to provide a platform that enables the addition of CCTV, Radar, Sonar, Anti-Swimmer Detection and Anti-Intrusion Detection Systems. Moreover, the system will act as a limited wave attenuator and with the addition of an attached oil boom will limit the affected area of oil spills.
According to Mr. Fadil Al Kaabi, CEO of IGG, “This partnership represents a great example of the cooperation between the UAE and USA in sharing technology and expertise to help secure our critical national maritime infrastructure. We look forward to working with WDT to further market this technology throughout the Middle East.”
According to Dennis G. Smith, CEO of WDT, “WDT has successfully marketed and installed its WhisprWaveÒ Technology in the USA, and elsewhere, but this agreement represents a true extension and prime example of cooperation by the USA to meet the UAE’s need for cutting edge technologies and foresight to proactively protect its critical maritime infrastructure. We look forward to a long and prosperous relationship with IGG.”

Homeland Defense Stocks Spade Defense Index Interview; Performance and Best way to play the sector at this time
Homeland Defense Stocks Spade Defense Index Interview; Performance and Best way to play the sector at this time
POINT ROBERTS, Wash., DELTA, B.C. – February 24, 2009 – www.HomelandDefenseStocks.com (HDS), a leading global investor and industry portal for the defense and security sector, within Investorideas.com, provides interested defense stocks investors with an update and interview with
Scott Sacknoff, manager of the SPADE® Defense Index.
Spade Defense Interview – February 18, 2009
More info and previous interviews:http://www.homelanddefensestocks.com/Content_Partners/SI/Default.asp
HDS: This is Dawn Van Zant with HomelandDefenseStocks.com. We are joined today once again by Scott Sacknoff, manager of the SPADE® Defense Index, which provides an investment benchmark for the defense and homeland security sector. There is a lot to cover so we’ve come up with ten questions for you. So let’s get started.
1. Perhaps the most important driver of defense and homeland security sector is the government budget. What is the status of the FY-2010 budget?
SMS: Normally, budget specifics are released on the Monday following the Super Bowl. However, when a new administration enters the White House, this is usually shifted to April in order to give them more time to make changes. That said it is likely that at least a top line number for the defense sector will be known before then.
2. HDS: And what do you expect dollar-wise?
SMS: The prevailing thought is that the topline figure will be what appeared in the FY-2009 budget, an increase from $515 billion to $527 billion. This does not include the funds associated with the war effort in Iraq and Afghanistan nor does it include the roughly $11.4 billion that appeared in the stimulus package. But your readers should keep in mind that the more important figure is that associated with what is called ‘investment programs – procurement and R&D. So of the $11.4 billion mentioned, most went toward military and security facility construction, grants to local law enforcement, and things like this. Though some may trickle down, just $1 billion went for airport baggage screening equipment for example.
3. HDS: Talk to us about major program changes.
SMS: Ultimately the biggest changes will occur in the FY-2011 budget, which would be the first under the 2010 QDR – the Quadrennial Defense Review, which is currently in preparation. Analysts expect that the FY-2010 budget will be mostly along existing lines but several major acquisition programs are likely to see cuts or reductions in size or scope. In particular, those programs in development that have cost or scheduling problems are likely to see changes to their budgets.
4. HDS: What other changes will the new administration implement?
SMS: The biggest changes are going to be procurement-related. You’re going to see more fixed price and fixed plus incentive and much less cost-plus contracts. Requirements will be frozen earlier, backup plans will be defined, and complex R&D-driven systems will graduate at a much later date. The changing philosophy at DoD is to focus more on production of existing systems and to approve development programs only when the technology is ready. It is what they are calling a 75% solution, a focus on meeting existing needs instead of the 100% perfect solution that tends to increase costs and produce significant schedule delays.
5. HDS: What upsides are there that could benefit companies?
A quicker exit to Iraq will begin to free up the $12 billion spent monthly on the effort. Higher volume productions even of lower costs systems can increase manufacturing productivity. Fixed price contracts can lead to better margins
6. HDS: How are defense companies positioning themselves for a flattening budget environment?
Many of the larger companies have been getting their finances and balance sheets in shape and are well positioned to handle what is to come. For the most part there are two key things they are working on. One, resources devoted to R&D which will pay off on future activities, and two, diversification of activities; whether this is going after non-military contracts or positioning themselves for future government efforts in clean energy, cybersecurity, and health care IT.
7. HDS: Is the sector still undervalued?
Several issues of our SPADE Investor newsletter last year highlighted the fact that from a price to earnings, price to sales, and a number of other metrics were all the lowest we’ve seen them in a decade. Pierre Chao of Renaissance Strategic Advisors, mentioned at a Cowen & Company investor event that defense companies were trading at levels normally seen when defense spending has bottomed.
8. HDS: What is the best way to play the sector at this time?
As you know we don’t make individual recommendations however companies involved with homeland security and cybersecurity are expected to be in favor. And for those that believe in the sector as a whole but worry about unknowns associated with President Obama’s plans, the Powershares Aerospace & Defense ETF (NYSEArca: PPA) that tracks out Index is an option and will enable them to diversify their holdings in the sector.
9. HDS: How did the sector perform in 2008?
2008 was a horrible year for most of the market and while our index tracked the broader markets for most of the year, a surge in December allowed us to end the year on a price basis, ahead of the S&P 500 for the ninth consecutive year. That said, the index and the markets were down significantly.
10. HDS: How has it performed year-to-date?
After ending the year strong, the defense and security sector continued to outperform the broader markets and although down 3% that was nearly 5.5% better than the market as a whole.
