Aria International Incorporated, a Nevada corporation (“Aria
International”) (OTC BB:ARAH), which is focused on providing specialized

pleased to announce today that it has purchased advanced digital

Axsys Technologies Inc. (“Axsys”) (NASDAQ:AXYS), is a leading designer
and manufacturer of precision surveillance cameras and optical solutions
for defense, aerospace, homeland security and high-performance
commercial applications.
Aria purchased five (5) V14 MSII fully-digital, four-axis
stabilized, multi-sensor cameras that provide exceptional aerial
surveillance and detection capabilities for law enforcement, military
and public utilities applications. The systems purchased by Aria combine
the latest in IR and high-definition EO sensor technology. The V14
MSII's EO and IR sensor technology, superior stabilization, unmatched
continuous zoom capabilities and multiple payload options, delivers
high-performance, flawlessly precise images ideal for the Aria
surveillance solution to the Royal Thai Army (RTA).
The RTA selected Aria International Incorporated and Axsys after a
number of real-time flight demonstrations were conducted in December
2008 in the United States. Aria International Incorporated previously
announced the RTA contract on April 30, 2009. Under this contract, Aria
International is responsible for integrating all system components and
delivering a complete turn-key solution, conducting initial operations
and continuing maintenance tasks as well as providing the training to
the RTA personnel on the use of the equipment.
The RTA surveillance and communications solution consists of a manned
airship equipped with special state-of-the-art imaging and
communications systems and upgrades to existing command and control
facilities to allow for the receipt of real-time surveillance data. The
airship will be accompanied with a state-of-the-art Mobile Command and
Control Vehicle. Aria International will train Royal Thai Army personnel
to pilot and effectively utilize and maintain the deployed surveillance
and communications systems. In addition to the Axsys cameras on the
airship, Aria International will also install and integrate the Axsys
V14 MSII high-definition day/night camera systems on select Royal Thai
Army helicopters. President of Aria International, Mr.
