GULFSTREAM DEVELOPS STATE-OF-THE-ART AUDIO VIDEO DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
Follows Four-Year Joint Effort With Innovative Advantage

SAVANNAH, Ga., November 16, 2008 –Gulfstream Aerospace, a wholly owned subsidiary of General Dynamics (NYSE: GD), in conjunction with Innovative Advantage, has developed a state-of-the-art Audio Video Distribution System  (AVDS) that supports the latest audio and video standards for Gulfstream business-jet aircraft.

AVDS offers a number of improvements, including increased bandwidth, better sound quality, less external noise and greater reliability.

The new system supports all current standard and high-definition video resolutions as well as analog, digital and multi-channel encoded audio. Additional benefits include noise-immune, fault-tolerant fiber-optic distribution and dynamic range audio compression. The system adheres to the Gulfstream Cabin-Essential® design philosophy. This means most single-point failures will be resolved or mitigated automatically.

Innovative Advantage, headquartered in Redmond, Washington, specializes in multi-channel, high-bandwidth media networks.

Gulfstream and Innovative Advantage have been developing the system since 2004. It will be standard on the Gulfstream G650, the all-new aircraft announced earlier this year. Beginning in 2009, it will be available as an option on in-production G450 and G550 aircraft and as a retrofit on in-service large-cabin Gulfstream aircraft.
