LANCASTER, Pa., May 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Micro Systems, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Herley Industries, Inc.

Working as a key team member with Composite Engineering, Inc. of Sacramento, CA, the company has integrated its MONTAGE ground control station with the CEi developed BQM-167i high performance aerial target.

Wayne Armstrong, Micro Systems’ president commented, “We are very pleased with our performance in Korea and with our continued relationship with CEi.
