SO. ST. PAUL, MN. (November 28, 2006) – Digital Angel Corporation (AMEX: DOC) announced today that the SARBE Division of its London-based subsidiary, Signature Industries, has signed a new contract with Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) to provide SARBE G2R Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) for use by fast jet and helicopter aircrew.
RMAF has placed an initial order of more than $115,000 and the Company believes that additional orders approximating $2.5 million for such equipment will be made by the Royal Malaysian Air Force in 2007. Training, support and spares will be ongoing and are expected to generate significant future revenue.

“After a rigorous selection process, we’re delighted the Royal Malaysian Air Force has chosen our SARBE G2R Personal Locator Beacon,” said Kevin McGrath, CEO of Digital Angel. “The Malaysian Air Force has used SARBE beacons for more than 30 years. We look forward to a continued partnership by providing RMAF with products that will perform in the most demanding environments.”

PLBs are routinely carried as standard survival equipment by aircrews of fixed and rotary wing aircraft and are used to summon assistance following an ejection or other events resulting in crew evacuation. The new beacons offer significantly improved alerting capabilities with much higher levels of accuracy leading to the prospect of faster rescues and better survival prospects. A change in the satellite monitoring of PLB distress transmissions has resulted in the need for military organizations to replace older style analogue equipment with more advanced digital beacons. As a result, SARBE G2R will eventually replace the widely deployed SARBE 6 PLB.

Signature Industries is working with customers around the world to help ensure SARBE beacons retain their position as market leader for this type of equipment. The SARBE Division of Signature Industries manufactures a complete line of military search and rescue beacons and has worked with RMAF for more than 30 years and the UK Ministry of Defense for more than 50 years.
