PowerSafe's Amplification Technologies Selected by US Army for SBIR Grant Related to Night Vision

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Sep 14, 2010) -  PowerSafe Technology Corporation (PINKSHEETS: PSFT) announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary Amplification Technologies Inc. (ATI) (www.ampti.net) has been selected by the US Army for a new Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I grant. The grant proposal, entitled "Novel Low Light Level Solid State Imaging Arrays," is to study the feasibility of utilizing ATI's breakthrough technology, as a replacement for image intensifier (II) tubes, currently the mainstay of the very large night vision market.

"This SBIR award demonstrates the value of the unique technology that ATI has developed over the last few years," said Jack Mayer, President of PowerSafe. "The replacement of II tubes with solid state devices has thus far not been accomplished. We are cautiously optimistic that this preliminary study will result in approaches to accomplishing this very important goal that we will be able to pursue with further funding."

The grant calls for approximately $70,000 in research and development funds for the Phase I study. If the results are promising, the Company could receive up to an additional $730,000 in transitional and Phase II funding.
