EAG American Defense Systems, Common Stock

American Defense Systems, Inc. (ADSI) (NYSE Amex: EAG), a provider of advanced transparent and opaque armor, reported that its physical security subsidiary, American Physical Security Group, LLC ("APSG"), has recently completed successful testing of its newly introduced CRB 360, the most capable rising crash beam barrier in APSG's federally-certified American Anti-Ram™ (AAR™) product line.

During extensive live testing, the CRB 360 achieved a rating of M50-P1 under the ASTM F2656-07 Standard Test Method for Vehicle Crash Testing of Perimeter Barriers, the highest rating for stopping a 15,000 pound vehicle traveling at 50 mph in under 3.3 feet and the highest standard recognized by the United States Department of State (DoS) for anti-ram barriers.

"Our APSG products continue to meet the highest standards for performance and safety," said ADSI's chief executive officer, Anthony J. Piscitelli. "We expect these test results will encourage greater adoption of our architectural hardening products, and greater use of our related contractor services, which will further our corporate mission represented by our motto, 'ADSI Saves Lives.'"

This new CRB 360 expands the AAR crash beam barrier product line to now three versions that can contain all different types and sizes of attacking vehicles. APSG's CRB 110 was engineered to stop a 10,000 pound vehicle traveling at speeds up to 20 mph, while the CRB 240 was tested to the DoS K4 energy level for containing a 15,000 pound vehicle traveling at up to 30 mph.

According to Paul Roland, APSG's director of engineering: "In addition to providing the greatest stopping power, our new CRB 360 also offers our most elegant design because of newer technology, while incorporating the features that have made our other CRB units so popular. The excavation and placement of the arm is simple in appearance, with no above-grade concrete or outriggers required. The arm is also constructed of aluminum alloy to reduce weight and eliminate the rust and maintenance associated with lesser designs. The product is currently available in hydraulic, semi manual or fully manual design, and is soon to be released as a fully electric version. With the CRB 360, we believe APSG continues to be an industry leader with its simple but highly effective designs."

ADSI also reported APSG has begun the first phase of a multi-gate project to install its American Anti-Ram Crash Beam Barriers at a major international airport in order to enhance perimeter security. APSG was also recently engaged to install various APSG-designed wedge barriers at a major federal research facility, and was awarded the second of a multistage upgrade of perimeter security for a major government research hospital located in the Washington, DC metro area after successfully completing the first phase earlier this year.

Piscitelli noted: "In this very competitive global arena of physical security and architectural hardening, these customers have many options. Their selection of APSG's AAR products represents a tremendous affirmation of the quality, capability and value we deliver."

About American Anti-Ram™ Technology The American Anti-Ram (AAR) Qualified Anti-Terrorism Technology supports a product line of active and passive perimeter vehicle barricades that aid in delaying the entry of unauthorized intruders to installations. The AAR products include bollards, crash beams, slide gates and other vehicle barriers, including SoftStop™.

In August of 2009, the DHS office of the Under Secretary for Science and Technology classified APSG's AAR technology an "Approved Product for Homeland Security" after careful review of third party crash tests which demonstrated AAR satisfies the criteria set forth in the federal Support Anti-terrorism by Fostering Effective Technologies Act of 2002, otherwise known as the SAFETY Act, as well as its supporting regulations. By providing unique liability protections and limitations in the event of an act of terrorism, the goal of the SAFETY Act is to encourage the development and deployment of new and innovative anti-terrorism products and services that can potentially save lives and property. APSG joins the ranks of other prestigious DHS designees that include ADT Security Systems, Northrop Grumman Space & Mission Systems Corporation, and the Raytheon Company.

These AAR products complement APSG's Hi-Threat™ line of specially crafted doors, windows, louvers, and security stations designed to resist physical forced entry and bullets. The Hi-Threat line received the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) SAFETY Act designation in May 2009. This DHS designation also applies to APSG's supervision of general contractor installation and services of these types of devices.
