3 behind growth in these national markets and will transform their market share from their currently negligible levels into significant figures in the market. Nonetheless, this should not be taken to represent that they will provide comparative levels of spending to the leading UGV markets of today: the US and Israel are expected to continue to dominate the global UGV market to a significant extent ROW Military UGV Contracts & Programmes Table 5.51 ROW Military UGV Market Major Contracts (Country, Company, Date, Value, Details) Country Company Date Value Details Afghanistan The Machine Lab Aug-9 $2.4m The Machine Lab receives a $2.4 million dollar contract to build over 1 of their larger MMP-3-EOD units, for delivery to Afghanistan by 211.

The unmanned vehicles contract is a foreign military sale (FMS) to Afghanistan, and government authorities in Afghanistan will use the man portable robots for bomb detection and safe bomb disposal. Small UGVs like the MMP-3 enable operators to find and handle bombs from a safe distance.

4 7. Expert Opinion 7.1 Mr. Vjekoslav Majetić, owner and Member of the Management Board of DOK-ING DOK-ING s Position Attributed to Demining Systems Visiongain: Could you tell me about DOK-ING s position in the Military UGV and Robotics market and how you forecast this in the next few years? Mr Vjekoslav Majetić: The good position DOK-ING has in this market is earned by our demining systems MV-4 and MV-1 which were supplied to several major armies in the world such as USA, Sweden, Australia, etc. Presently DOK-ING still meets 6 of these market requirements. Since the economy is unpredictable in the next few years, the market should also be volatile when demining is concerned, and we are not sure if the demand is going to be as strong as in previous years Falling Demining Demand VG: What products and services are seeing the greatest demand currently and do you expect this to continue? VM: At this moment the demining products and services are still in demand, but we do expect decline in demand in the future years. At the same time we expect the rise of demand for other products, especially the C-IED, EOD equipment that we can supply as well Seeking New Markets VG: What are DOK-ING s strongest national or regional markets? VM: The strongest markets are US and Russia, but we are always trying to open the new markets, and to commercialize new products offering them on the already known markets. Page 152

The machine is remotely controlled by an operator inside an armoured vehicle or positioned at a safe distance. The MV-4 s engine and other critical components are protected by steel armoured plates. DOK-ING stated in December 29 that its MV-4 had been exported to 24 countries. In May 211, DOK-ING stated that it had delivered four MV-4 systems to the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration for use by the Swedish Armed Forces on demining operations under a contract reportedly worth $2.3m MV-1 The MV-1 is a robotic demining system which is designed to clear terrain of anti-personnel mines, anti-tank mines and unexploded ordnance. The MV-1 uses a flail and rotating tiller to activate and clear explosive devices. The system is highly robust and able to work in almost all conditions. The MV-1 is heaver than the MV-4, weighing 2tons. The Australian army has procured a minimum of 8 systems, while the Lithuanian military is currently using one system. Page 174
