The sale to Barksdale comes on the heals of the December sale of PT1000's to the Naval Air Warfare Center at China Lake, California, where NAVAIR uses the Nighthawk units to activate orientation lights across the entire test range, roughly the size of the State of Maryland, including one position on mountainous terrain over 6,500 feet.

H. Douglas Saathoff, Nighthawk's CEO, commented, "Our products continue to gain further acceptance in both the governmental and private sectors in part because of their reliability and ability to handle a wide variety of remote on/off applications. But perhaps most important, is how easy our products are to use. Our products make even the most critical tasks as simple as flipping a light switch. I believe this will make our products commonplace in businesses and homes alike."
