I hate that we had to sell LTAS as well .. but we know we were hurting for cash & we were constantly complaining about the rising share count. So, now we have cash on hand .. & if things play out well for the tethered platform ( as we assumed they would / will ) we have 10 000 000 shares going forward to continue an inflow of cash

I find it interesting that LTAS ended up in Nevada:

“While we regret that the business decided not to relocate to Nevada, perhaps with Councilman Beers’ assistance in the future, World Surveillance Group would be willing to revisit relocating and, in that case, we would certainly be very interested in renewing incentive discussions with them,” Cooper replied to a query.”

It was the Stratellite vision of what could be .. that caught my attention oh-so long ago ( f**k time fly’s )

The company says it’s time to refocus on the Argus / LTA UAS .. & I’m glad to learn of that.


Here are some quote's ( a few yrs old but the desires haven’t changed ) from Jeff Faunce, deputy, Experiments Division, USASMDC/ARSTRAT Battle Lab .. who was working with the WASP:

“U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command’s (SMDC’s) Space and Missile Defense Battle Lab is working on the high-flying infrastructure needed for the capability to work in mountainous or “concrete canyon” settings.

The goal is to create an aircraft that can remain airborne at 65,000 feet, where the winds are most benign, for at least seven days.

Jeff Faunce, deputy for experiments, Army Space and Missile Defense Battle Lab, calls the stratospheric platforms the “long pole in the tent” for delivering this handheld device to warfighters. But Faunce allows that, while aerostats are not the ultimate solution to the aerial element of the TactiCell configuration, they make a perfect testbed because they at least provide mobile cell coverage over a particular area. [color=red]“[color=red]In that class of vehicle, up in the stratosphere, we are hopefully closer rather than further away [from a solution],” he states.[/[/color]color]

“The airships are intended to run on solar power. [They are designed to] have solar panels along the skin of the airship to gather that energy that will allow them to persist much, much longer up in the stratosphere,” Faunce explains.”

We have to be getting close!?!?!

And the voices of those who stand looking.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it really makes me wonder.”
