Goodrich Intelligence Reference Library Software Provides Expanded Data to Warfighter


CHARLOTTE, North Carolina, July 14 /PRNewswire/ --

- System integrates data from diverse unrelated sources to provide
comprehensive real time battlefield intelligence on a personal computer

(Farnborough International Airshow). Goodrich Corporation's (NYSE: GR)
new personal computer- (PC) based Intelligence Reference Library (IRL)
software has proven its capability to integrate data from a number of
unrelated systems into a comprehensive real time battlefield snapshot, day or
night. The software is produced by Goodrich's ISR Systems team in Malvern,
UK.

IRL's proprietary software simultaneously catalogues and meshes data from
a number of diverse sources such as the Goodrich DB-110 reconnaissance pod as
well as non-Goodrich synthetic aperture radar, full motion video, and other
sensors. As the sensors focus on a mission-specific geographic location, IRL
formulates an extremely accurate "imagery intelligence picture" of actionable
data on a ground-based work station or handheld PC. The system operates over
a relatively narrow communication bandwidth, and provides detailed
information on a wide range of target sets.

Tom Bergeron, President, ISR Systems at Goodrich, said, "Recent testing
of our IRL in combination with new ground station display technology has
proved that this integrated system can provide our troops with the complete
information they need to be successful, day and night, in combat operations
worldwide. This low-risk solution works with fixed or mobile ground stations,
and is designed for maximum flexibility at an affordable price."

Goodrich will display IRL's capabilities at the 2008 Farnborough Air
Show.
