Sanswire-TAO to Hold Private STS-111 UAV Flight Demonstrations
Sanswire Corp.
(OTCBB: SNSR) today announced that the Sanswire-TAO joint venture will be
holding a private demonstration of its STS-111 Lighter-than-Air Unmanned
Aerial Vehicle (UAV) at its facilities in Stuttgart, Germany, for certain
invited guests representing Government contractors from the US and abroad
prior to year end.
The spiral construction effort of Sanswire-TAO's Mid Altitude Long
Endurance (MALE) UAV program commenced in the second quarter of 2009 with
the objective of producing two non-rigid, 111-ft long airships each in a
unique configuration. This demonstration will feature flight testing and
inspection of the initial version of Sanswire-TAO's STS-111 airship,
highlighting the unique capabilities inherent with the flexible segmented
design. Future plans call for the subsequent FuelGas powered STS-111
platform to be delivered to Sanswire's systems integrator and operator
where the systems integration work on the STS-111's command and control
suites will commence followed by training on operations of the STS-111 in
preparation for delivering fully operational airships for deployment and
operations.
"We are pleased to have the opportunity to provide an in-flight
demonstration of our STS-111 UAV to our esteemed partners and invited
guests. We look forward to planning and carrying out additional
demonstrations of our airship in the US and Germany. Following our future
demonstrations, we look forward to collaborating with industry leaders in
systems integration and operations and providing capabilities to those
servicemen and women who desperately need current intelligence and
information," said David A Christian, Chief Executive Officer of Sanswire.
The STS-111 is designed to fulfill a range of mission profiles at mid
altitudes, performing both persistent loitering and racetrack operations
nonstop for an estimated two and a half days. The airship is engineered to
carry various payloads of intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance and
communications equipment, as well as having the capability to provide up to
a 200-kilometer operational line of sight. The STS-111 has been designed to
rapidly unfold from its standard-size crate and be prepared and tactically
launched from virtually anywhere with minimal ground crew and no need for a
large hangar or runway.
