Homeland Security Group International Re-Energizes Ballistics Division Announces New Contracts Monday January 29, 6:00 am ET SAN DIEGO, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Jan 29, 2007 -- Colonel Jeffrey A. Powers, CEO of Homeland Security Group International, Inc. (Other OTC:HMSG.PK - News) announced today that the company has placed new emphasis on lightweight ballistic armor and has received testing certification for its lightweight composite level IV armor. Source: Homeland Security Group International The company announced that concurrent with its receipt of level IV certification from HP White testing laboratories, it has been awarded a contract to supply Navy Units with level IV lightweight ballistic armor and vest systems. "We received word last week from our joint venture partner Protective Solutions LLC of the certifications arriving. At the same time we were in final phases of contract negotiation with Navy units to supply them with ballistic vest systems," commented Colonel Powers. "It all seemed to come together at the same time. The day we received word that our armor had passed testing, we also received word that we had been issued 5 separate National Stock Numbers by the Marine Corps for armoring kits for Light Armored Vehicles. That same day we secured the Navy contract for personnel equipment including ballistic vest systems." HMSG's Ballistic Division's focus has been to find a lighter armor solution that will protect personnel from high velocity rounds without sacrificing efficiency caused by the increased weight of the currently fielded systems. HMSG and their partner Protective Solutions LLC have been conducting concurrent testing with other materials to increase survivability of wheeled and tracked vehicles. The company feels this is the beginning of many new ballistic contracts and equipment purchases by the Navy and Marine Corps. "We now have eleven different armoring options available to the military for their vehicles. We have worked hard this past year to ensure our data was sound and our products would stop the bullets we said they would. We now see the fruits of our labor in the form of orders for equipment," concluded Powers. Testing data, NSN and certifications will be posted on the HMSG website at www.hstinc.us.
