Thursday March 13, 3:34 pm ET
STANTON, Calif., March 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sonic Jet Performance, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: SJET - News) announced today that its subsidiary, Technical Solutions Group (TSG) will present shareholders and interested parties with a tour of its Charleston, South Carolina, manufacturing facilities on March 17th and March 18th at 9 A.M.
TSG's U.S. operations occupy 85,000 square feet in the former Charleston Navy Shipyard in Charleston, South Carolina. The facility includes the company's primary office as well as its manufacturing division for assembly, and integration of the mission specific vehicles.
The Company's open house is intended to give current shareholders and the general investment public insight into the Company's operations. At the open house the Company will be showcasing its mission specific vehicles in varying stages of production including the BUFFALO vehicle.
The BUFFALO is the most advanced Mine Resistant Vehicle in the world, with multiple mission configurations and specifically designed field reparability. It's advanced design and manufacturing yields the best protection of any vehicle in its class. The design combines South African monocoque capsule protection with the latest in American automotive technology to produce a vehicle with the best visibility, load carrying capacity, interior space and parts availability of any vehicle in its class. The BUFFALO offers 45 pound landmine protection on any wheel and 30 pound mine centerline protection, along with standard ballistic protection of 7.62mm NATO ball, upgradeable to Dragunov AP. The BUFFALO's design creates the only MRV in its class with full 360-degree occupant protection. The US Army has recently awarded the Company an $8 million dollar contract to supply them with 10 vehicles.
Also manufactured at the facility is the COUGAR (TEMPEST, UK), several of which have already been delivered to the United Kingdom's Ministry of Defense. The COUGAR is a versatile, multi-purpose vehicle that can be configured to satisfy a wide variety of mission requirements. The purpose-built monocoque capsule is designed to protect both the driver and crew from both ballistic and mine / blast threats, and is mated with the latest in American commercial automotive technology to produce the most user-friendly and adaptable vehicle in its class. The COUGAR can be configured to serve as a mine protected troop transport vehicle, a weapons platform, a law enforcement special response vehicle, an EOD / Range Clearance vehicle, or a VIP Protection vehicle. The automotive components are all easily commercially available which dramatically eases logistic and maintenance support, along with carrying the original manufacturers' warrantees. The COUGAR is available in a 10 seater version in the 4x2 and 4x4 models and as a 16 seater in the 6x6 model. Additionally, the COUGAR is the only vehicle in its class with 3 doors, and can be ordered with various numbers of personnel hatches and mounts for specialized equipment.
TSG President Garth Barrett, "We're excited about the opportunity to show our current and future shareholders a little bit about the process we go through to create these highly advanced vehicles."
