DANBURY, Conn., Sept. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Technipower Systems, Inc. (TECZ.PK), formerly Solomon Technologies, Inc., announced today that General John W. "Jack" Woodmansee (Ret.) has joined its Advisory Board. General Woodmansee, a retired Lieutenant General of the Army, has over 33 years of experience in all facets of military operations, including combat, research and development and procurement. A Vietnam veteran, General Woodmansee led air cavalry units flying over 1,500 hours of combat missions. He's been one of the Army's visionaries and a key contributor to the design of the organizations, tactics, and equipment used in Desert Storm. As Director of Army Requirements, he was responsible for prioritizing the Army's then $25 billion Research, Development, and Acquisition budget. His last assignment was as commander of the 62,000 soldiers in the U.S. V Corps in Germany. Following his retirement from the military, General Woodmansee consulted for top defense contractors including Texas Instruments, Bell Helicopter, and LTV. He is a former member of the Board of Directors of Perot Systems Corporation, where he was the leader of North America Sales and Operations. He founded and is currently Chief Executive Officer of TR Gear, Ltd. Peter W. DeVecchis, Jr., President of Technipower said, "I am extremely pleased that General Woodmansee has joined our Advisory Board. His background in military procurement and extensive work in new military technologies is a great fit with our existing military systems business and the new opportunities we are pursuing incorporating our patented technologies. His practical experience in working in the military, commercial and contractor environment gives him tremendous insights that will be invaluable, not only for our core power systems business, but also as we ramp up our marketing efforts for our Electric Transaxle(TM), Universal Drive Train(TM), and Instant Solar(TM) technologies." General Woodmansee commented, "I am pleased to be joining Technipower's Advisory Board at this exciting time in the energy and power markets. The Company's novel approaches to the power system requirements in military and non-military applications position it well for future growth. I believe my background will be particularly helpful in qualifying those opportunities to maximize the long term value while also opening new doors that may not have been readily visible. I look forward to working with the whole team as we move forward." General Woodmansee served as a White House Fellow under President Lyndon Johnson, and a National Security Fellow at the Hoover Institution for War, Revolution, and Peace. He is a past member of the Defense Science Board, and currently a member of the Army Science Board.
