LIBERTY LAKE, Wash., Aug. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- SprayCool(R), a recognized
leader in liquid-cooled tactical enclosure products, announced today that it
was awarded a production contract by Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC)
to supply electronics enclosures for the U.S. Air Force RQ-4 Global Hawk
Unmanned Aerial System (UAS). Under this contract, each of the first five of
twenty-five currently planned Block 30 aircraft will get outfitted with two
SprayCool Enclosures that will host Northrop Grumman's processing electronics
in support of their Airborne Signals Intelligence Payload (ASIP) program.
ASIP is a signals intelligence sensor payload developed by Northrop
Grumman Mission Systems sector's Electromagnetic Systems Laboratory business
unit for use on both the U-2 and Global Hawk. This production win falls on the
heels of the ASIP-1C award, a scaled-down derivative system that SprayCool is
working with Northrop Grumman to develop an electronics enclosure for the MQ-1
Predator UAS.
'SprayCool Enclosures allow Northrop Grumman the flexibility to select
from a wide range of electronics, some of which feature commercial grade
components, and field them in harsh environments like the high altitude
operation of the Global Hawk,' said Matt Gerber, president and chief executive
officer of SprayCool. 'They are able to do that in un-pressurized,
un-conditioned air space, leaving the more valuable, but limited conditioned
air space available for legacy avionics,' he added.

SprayCool Technology
SprayCool's patented 2-phase liquid cooling technology deploys a fine mist
of non-corrosive, non-conductive liquid which evaporates upon contact with the
hot components. The evaporative process cools and when appropriate, heats the
electronics within a sealed, closed loop system. SprayCool enclosure products
enable flexible deployment of any electronics in harsh environments without
the size, weight and power penalties of traditional air conditioning systems.
