PEABODY, Mass., Jan. 7, 2010 -- Analogic Corporation (Nasdaq:ALOG), a leading provider of medical imaging and aviation security technology, announced today that it has received an order from L-3 Communications Security and Detection Systems, Inc., for EXplosive Assessment Computed Tomography (EXACT(R)) systems valued at approximately $10 million. The certified eXaminer(R) 3DX Explosives Detection System (EDS), developed in collaboration between Analogic and L-3, incorporates the EXACT subsystem. This new order is expected to start shipping in the second quarter of fiscal 2010.

Peter Cempellin, vice president and general manager of Analogic's Security Systems Division, said, "This new order is indicative of the enduring value the eXaminer 3DX has in the marketplace and the role it plays in helping to protect the air traveling public.
