Microlanguage Technology Aids the War Against Terrorism
Company's Software Boosts Performance of JISR Information Extraction Tools

Amherst, NY--March 12, 2003 -- Microlanguage™, a provider of intelligent language processing solutions, today announced that its Thematix™ technology is an integral part of the US Army's Joint Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (JISR) program aimed at providing early entry forces improved situational awareness.

According to the US Army, the mission of JISR is "to provide early entry forces and their supporting headquarters with significantly improved situational awareness by means of more effective and timely access, integration, and visualization of relevant multi-service multi-echelon intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) information."

Microlanguage's Thematix technology is one of several commercial-off-the-shelf products being integrated by Raytheon under the Initial Operational Capability phase of JISR. The role of Thematix is to increase the precision and thoroughness of the warfighter's understanding of enemy operations in an expanded battlespace.

On Microlanguage's involvement in JISR, Robert Fritzinger, president and CEO of Microlanguage, said "Given our role of extracting relevant information from a number of disparate data sources, the challenges we face supporting national defense and homeland security applications like JISR are actually no more complex than those presented by content management systems in Fortune 1000 enterprises. In each case, Thematix real-time semantic data extraction and tagging enables the end user to quickly access and pinpoint the data they need as actionable information. That's our value-add."

Microlanguage expects their involvement in JISR to continue through the Deployment phase of JISR which is scheduled to begin in FY04.
