Engineered Support draws on its military design capabilities and manufacturing experience to produce a variety of commercial and industrial products. Nonmilitary commercial and industrial prod-ucts accounted for 15 percent of consolidated net revenues in 2001 and include postal automation systems, air-handling equip-ment and injection-molded plastic products.
     Technologies that originated for use in the military frequently find their way into consumer and commercial products. The company has modified technologies originally developed and designed for the DoD to produce a range of commercial and industrial products. For example, we adapted technology first used in Air Force avionics diagnostic equipment to create the Integrated Mail Handling System for the United States Postal Service (USPS).
      We modified other technologies to develop a variety of automated material handling systems used by the USPS

to improve its efficiency and cost effectiveness – the Flats Forwarding Terminal (FFT), the Dual Pass Rough Cull System (DPRCS) and the Direct Connect System (DCS).
     The company also leverages its military design and manu-facturing experience to produce HVAC systems, air-handling and heat-transfer equipment, and industrial cooling coils for applications in the aerospace, food processing, health care, pharmaceutical, chemical, semiconductor and telecommunica tions industries.
      Our Plastic Products business segment produces injection-molded consumer and commercial products for applications in telecommunications, food processing, housewares and stor-age containers, plus a proprietary line of nonmetallic faucets and fixtures.
