Marine Unit Takes Three Separate Models on Operation

DEL MAR, Calif.--June 6, 2005--Colonel Jeffrey Powers CEO of Homeland Security Technology, Inc. (a division of Amnis, Inc. (Pink Sheets:AMNI)) announced today that HST, Inc. was selected by a Marine Corps unit to supply them with three different versions of GPS for an operation in Iraq.


Due to operational security (OPSEC) considerations, the name of the specific unit and the area in which they are conducting operations are being withheld at this time.

HST, Inc. delivered Rhino 130, ETrex Legend C and Garmin GPS276c models for this operation. "All of these models are loaded with Iraq street maps and our Garmin models are compatible with military grid reference systems (MGRS)," commented Colonel Powers. "We are proud that our GPS models equipped with Iraq street maps and peer-to-peer positioning systems are being used in Iraq."

"Our offices received the request from the deploying unit on Thursday afternoon before the long Memorial Day weekend," said Mark Wilson, HST, Inc.'s Director of Security Systems Division. "The unit said they needed to take receipt immediately because they were leaving on a four day pass prior to deploying and had to pack their gear for deployment. I called our joint venture partner GPS World Supply in Illinois and they loaded and shipped the requested GPS units that afternoon. I received them Friday morning and was able drive to Camp Pendleton Friday afternoon and hand deliver the GPS equipment on time," concluded Wilson.

This evolution demonstrates the speed with which HST, working in conjunction with their joint venture partners, is able to supply the Marine Corps with equipment when requested.
