Last update: 9:40 a.m. EDT July 1, 2008
STUTTGART, Germany, Jul 1, 2008 (PrimeNewswire via COMTEX) -- GlobeTel Communications Corp. (Pink Sheets:GTEM) today announced that Sanswire-TAO Corp., the joint venture owned by its Sanswire Corp. subsidiary and TAO Technologies GmbH, showcased the Company's high altitude unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) development capabilities in Stuttgart. The demonstrations included the unveiling of new technological advancements within the company's high altitude long endurance (HALE) program and detailed strategies, leading to demonstrations of facilities, components and systems, and live flights of various aerial platforms. Key accomplishments of the conference included:
* Flight demonstrations of the SAS-51 airship with a live video
surveillance package, lightweight compact autonomously controlled
vehicles, and multiple "AirChain" prototypes, illustrating the
inherent flight properties of the segmented cell design in flight
* Theoretical presentations of the company's patented "AirChain"
segmented cell airship design in comparison to the flawed
characteristics of non segmented, rigid designs
* Introduction of various proprietary software systems, including
the advanced modeling and design language developed by TAO to
theoretically evaluate lighter than air (LTA) vehicles using
numerous interchangeable characteristics such as payload,
duration and altitude. These systems use the data gathered from
thousands of test flights to customize an airship with specific
capabilities for wind speed, payload capacity and endurance
* Presentation of the company's flight strategies, including ground
control, launch sequences and return strategy, utilizing a
proprietary autonomously controlled parachute payload return
system to provide safe return of vehicle and payload under
normal and extreme conditions
* Showing the proprietary subsystems, including its autonomous
flight control software and state of the art propulsion system,
designed to immediately provide persistent service for missions
requiring station keeping at mid altitudes utilizing a rotation
of vehicles in approximately one week cycles.
* Tours of facilities, including laboratories, testing and
construction facilities, which included the equipment and
resources utilized in the fabrication of electronics, components
and materials used in the construction of airship platforms
Jonathan Leinwand, Chief Executive Officer of GlobeTel Communications, stated, "We would like to thank Dr. Kroplin and his team for this incredibly informative conference. We believe the demonstrations were an overwhelming success and an affirmation of our confidence in the Sanswire-TAO development programs. Our guests were able to see the depth of knowledge that has been developed by TAO during its 14 years of airship development. We have shown our capabilities to provide the next generation of lighter than air unmanned aerial vehicle platforms to our partners and customers."
