Acro, Inc. Receives Purchase Order for Explosive Detection Devices From Division of U.S. Army

Defense News: CAESAREA, ISRAEL--(Marketwire - 04/06/10) - Acro, Inc. (OTC.BB:ACRI - News), a leading manufacturer of explosive detection solutions for the homeland security market and related sectors, today announced that the Company has received a purchase order for its ACRO-P.E.T., ACRO-N.E.T., ACRO-CH.E.T., and ACRO-U.E.T. explosive detection devices from a division of the U.S. Army.

"This order is very important for us because it continues our momentum in the United States and could further increase market adoption of our cutting-edge explosive detection solutions," said Gadi Aner, CEO and Chairman of Acro, Inc.

The ACRO-P.E.T. is the first explosives identifier of its kind, effective against TATP and other Peroxide Based IEDs. It is light, easy to use and gives instant results, even when explosive quantities are small. The novel portable 'micro-laboratory,' ACRO-N.E.T., with its sensitive, simple, rapid, precise and reliable operation, revolutionizes the field task of police and other security agencies in the detection and identification of explosives. ACRO-CH.E.T. (Chlorate Explosives Tester) is light, easy to use and gives instant results, even when explosive quantities are small. ACRO-CH.E.T. has low false positive and negative alarm rates, is very sensitive, and can detect 10 micrograms of chlorate based explosives traces.

This initial purchase order will be used to determine the suitability of Acro's explosive detection devices for certain U.S. Army units. The order is expected to ship within few weeks.
