ACQUISITION OF WAVEBAND CORPORATION (WB) BY SIERRA NEVADA CORPORATION (SNC)

Sparks, Nevada – May 2005 – Sierra Nevada Corporation announces its recent acquisition of WaveBand Corporation (WB), a California-based high-tech company known for innovation in the field of millimeter wave (MMW) technologies, including beam-steering antennas and imaging radar systems.

The acquisition of WB expands SNC’s capabilities in the emerging MMW imaging radar market. WaveBand's antennas provide rapid beam steering and beam forming without the use of either mechanically moved reflectors, which are slow, or electronically steered phase shifters, which are fast but expensive. Combined with imaging radars, WaveBand’s antennas address the needs and opportunities presented by commercial and government markets in areas that include aircraft landing aids, missile seekers, and surveillance sensors.
