AAI Corporation Selects Arbortext Enterprise Publishing Software to
Publish Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Manuals 

 
ANN ARBOR, Mich., April 18, 2005 -- Arbortext, the leading provider of
enterprise publishing software, today announced that AAI Corporation, a
subsidiary of United Industrial Corporation (NYSE: UIC), has selected
its software to create and publish maintenance and repair manuals for
the Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (TUAV) for the United States Army.


Military suppliers are being asked to deliver systems quickly and
provide fast maintenance, training and operational support teams around
the globe. Arbortext Enterprise Publishing software will enable AAI
Corporation to improve and automate the content creation and publishing
process, ultimately ensuring that field maintenance personnel receive
updated product information as fast as possible, fully supporting AAI

generation of manuals in Interactive Electronic Technical Manual (IETMs)
formats, enabling us to meet and exceed the emerging needs of our
customers quicker than ever before," said Pat Truitt, Vice President of
Operations at AAI Services Corporation.  "I believe the solution we are
implementing with Arbortext enables us to build on that tradition for
all of AAI's product lines."

"We work with a number of government organizations that must tackle the
challenge of creating and publishing information to support a variety of
military requirements," said Raymond Schiavone, President and CEO for
Arbortext.  "We are delighted to be working with AAI as they build an
enterprise publishing strategy to improve the way information is created
and delivered."
