OPPORTUNITY SNAPSHOT
Crime, deteriorating infrastructure, and natural disasters are all significant problems in and of themselves. Combined at the same time with the dramatic increase in climate change, industrialization, pollution, and terrorism as they are now, these issues create an extremely difficult situation on a global scale.
Pressure on the world’s infrastructure is intensifying from changes in demographics alone. Over the past 20 years the world’s population has increased nearly 34% to 6.7 billion, and it is expected to reach 7.2 billion by 2015. The migration of people to urban areas is occurring at an unsustainable rate. Meeting this global crisis will involve massive expenditure across several industries; and the companies that will benefit from the tremendous flow of capital will be the ones that offer the most cost-effective solutions.
The Mundus Group, Inc. (MNDP) is a publicly-listed, advanced aerospace and technology company that is providing the best solutions to many of the world’s most serious issues. Incorporated in 1992, and head quartered in Nevada, MNDP is spearheading a new industry in the surveillance and unmanned aerial vehicles industry. Through its wholly owned subsidiaries Airstar International (ASI) and Roadable Aircraft Inc. (RAI), MNDP has been providing patented Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL) and Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAV) technology for commercial and military use, since 1980.
MNDP is at the cutting edge of jet turbine-ducted fan technology and fuses state of the art design engineering and prototype facilities with computer assisted autonomous flight technologies, remote control, HD video wireless linkage and advance optics. From U.S. Navy co-developed UAVs for aerial observation and environmental testing to advanced VTOL aerospace technology for multiple end uses, MNDP is currently providing and developing revolutionary products with global potential for change that offer economic protection and growth opportunities for investors.
Besides ASI and RAI, MNDP currently operates under four other wholly owned divisions. Air Intel Systems (AIS) is a dedicated aerial surveillance business with sales of UAV surveillance systems which provide turnkey solutions to military and government agencies around the world. AirStar Sky Productions will continue ASI’s dedicated movie production and cinematography business in Hollywood, California. AirStar UAV 4 Life Search & Rescue will provide search and rescue services and sales for government agencies. AirStar Weather Systems will provide sales and service of dedicated early warning weather technology to the federal and state meteorological observation agencies. This is particularly applicable to Gulf Coast states concerned about hurricanes, and tornado prone states like Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma. ASI’s CamCopter and VariScope technology has been keeping watch over the world since 1988 through its civilian VTOL division.
In addition, Air Drone Inc. (ADI) (www.airdroneinc.com), will become an advanced UAV manufacturer and a leader in VTOL technology, used to replace all current AirStars in service and provide the ducted fan technology under development. ADI was formed to continue the development that ASI began in 1988 with the design and manufacturing of advanced remote controlled UAV helicopters for the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, and Northrop Grumman; and has since continued with the University of Southern California, among many others.

•The UAV developed in 2004 became the test bed for DARPA submissions and proposals for RAI’s “Terminator” Orchestrated Remote Controlled Assault/Surveillance Systems (ORCAS); and its robotic surgeon know as Medical Emergency Deployment Aerial Vehicle (MEDAV).
REVENUE DRIVERS
Surveillance
With advanced infrared optics and surveillance, police, border patrol, and/or port authorities can observe, automatically monitor and track individuals and/or moving vehicles while sending pin-point accurate GPS coordinates and real time high definition video images to enforcement agencies without leaving their desks.
No other aerospace UAV company in the world has a higher profile in cutting edge real world surveillance applications. Providing stealth operation from sea level to 7,500 feet altitude while running on ethanol with zero emissions, ADI’s UAV’s run for two to six hours of autonomous flight and vehicle tracking, automatically returning to base with preprogrammed instructions for refuelling before resuming aerial observation and surveillance duty or other instructions.
ADI’s civilian UAVs and VTOL technology products encompass a wide array of applications and fields of use. ASI has pioneered aerial surveillance with government agencies in Brazil, Japan, and the U.S. For applications from ecosphere and environmental protection to surveillance over Brazilian tourist attractions and Japan’s downtown intersections. ASI delivered 12 VTOL UAVs to Gulf State (Louisiana, Texas) government agencies for as early warning and hurricane observation systems. These can also be used as post disaster monitoring for safe infrastructure, looting and emergency response to victims.
ADI builds the world’s most high tech, high performance UAVs and educates and trains operators to become flight control experts to maintain, operate and execute specific tasks and demonstrate remote controlled performance ranging from simple aerial photography to extreme aerial acrobatics. Only those with the requisite skills may be able to enter contract as a team AIS services operator.
Emergency Response, Search & Rescue
As traffic conditions worsen on the ground or when rescue helicopters and aircraft are grounded due to heavy fog or smoke from wild fires or from other dangerous flying conditions, remote controlled GPS UAVs are called in to continue search and rescue missions. VTOL technology will save lives with many civilian applications including protection of city skyscrapers, medical response and evacuation. A remotely operated unmanned vehicle can also augment fire fighting capabilities by delivering or directing fire suppressants.
• Air ambulance
• Beach & coastal rescue
• Hazardous material sampling
• Hurricane/tornado early warning
• National Forest Service
• Ocean cargo and freight inspection
• Pollution/industrial monitoring
• Robotic disarming of explosives
• Weapons inspection
MNDP’s technology will become more and more appealing to the public as a more immediate response is proven to be the “difference between life and death” in a tragic accident or disaster. Urgent response VTOL UAVs will become a replacement for out-dated rescue and evacuation options and as a substitute to traditional methods of emergency transport.
On the military side, ultra high mobility gives the VTOL UAV the capability to operate in confined areas (under bridges, forested areas, etc.) inaccessible to other unmanned air vehicles that are limited to airborne operation. Areas that are hostile and inaccessible to conventional vehicles present a difficult challenge for elite fighting forces.
MNDP’s innovative and versatile Unmanned Vertical Take Off and Landing (UVTOL) combat vehicle can operate in crowded and inaccessible areas on land or sea. From a remote command station, this UVTOL combat vehicle will take off vertically like a helicopter and fly to designated locations. This remote controlled platform will provide easy access to even the most remote area and the most challenging terrain. This capability will enhance the tactical, strategic, and logistic capability of military search and rescue units of all the U.S. Armed Forces.
Photography
No other aerospace UAV company in the world has a higher profile in cutting edge aerial photography for commercial, movie, production and real world 6
business applications. When “Star Wars” director George Lucas and his Industrial Light & Magic Company needed tight, high-speed aerial footage for his Nissan Super Bowl commercial, they called for the ASI CamCopter.
The commercial was broadcast during the 2006 Super Bowl Football game and was viewed by more than 1 billion people worldwide. It gave audiences an exciting ”“bird’s eye view” that only CamCopter could provide.
The CamCopter system was developed by ASI and requires a pilot and an assistant to operate the camera, (which can be viewed live, via a laptop monitor),aerial footage can be taken from a hover up to fifty miles per hour. Previously,the only way to get aerial footage was from a real helicopter, which can be expensive and, in many cases, too large. The system, including a smokeless engine and vibration dampening system, took more than four years to develop and delivers clear, jiggle-free 360-degree pictures, for microscopic as well as telescopic cameras, stereoscopic camera images for 3D IMAX type formats, and programmable aerial sequences pre-orchestrated from a set of professionally designed aerial flight patterns that are scalable in real time and provide easyflight pattern repetition for practising difficult coordinated film shots. The high resolution
motion picture camera used has the ability to pan and tilt fully in any direction, and can hold 200 feet of 35mm film.
A partial list of other TV, movie, commercial and music video film credits include:• Television (FOX feature film ”“Deadly Enemies”)• Theatrically released movies (”Gettysburg”, ”“Skeeter”)• TV commercials (Alfa Romeo, Baby Ruth, Colorado Lottery, Cognac, Honda Civic, Lincoln-Mercury, Nestle, Perrier, Reebok, Titleist Golf)• Music video (Melissa Ethridge, R. Kelly, Snoop Dog)Infrastructure Repair & Maintenance
In addition to specific precision real-time tooling for drilling, welding or placing pre-configured devices in place such as power line and telephone cable equipment, ADI’s AeroDroids can provide critical inspection, repair and maintenance of key infrastructure like bridges, dams, harbors, highways, mines,train rails, and tunnels.
Military
In 2003, the U.S. Navy co-developed an UAV under a Co-operative Research and Development Agreement with RAI and ASI. Planned proposals included as mall manoeuvrable UVTOL combat vehicle with the capability to hover and provide fire power. It could also eliminate or neutralize threats prior to the deployment of forces. The proposed UVTOL would be equipped with surveillance and firepower such as an M-34 Minigun. The proposed UVTOL is designed to be launched from a Trident submarine missile silo, or towed into a secure position over 100 miles from target. The combat vehicle is a smaller scale evolution of a current ducted fan road/air vehicle for personal transportation in which RAI holds a patent. The military design modification for UVTOL combat vehicle applications would be the addition of sensors, ballistic armor, remote control actuators, and armament.
The overall duct diameter is reduced from 100 to 83 inches to enable the vehicle to be launched from a submarine. The high payload capability allows the ultra high mobility UVTOL vehicle to carry larger systems such as the Side kick augment to the Navy SLQ-32(V)1 Electronic Countermeasures system, which can provide active radar jamming protection and decoy protection to ships without active transmitters.
ADI offers the urgent response and rescue professional all of the observation,monitoring and search options including GPS pin point accuracy control and location designator, dual camera independent 360 degree coordination of cameras in HD real time formats.
Personal Transportation
Patented two passenger 8-foot ducted fan VTOL vehicle with dual ballistic para-sails codeveloped
with the U.S. Navy, currently under production as VTOL V1 Flyer Kit.
The time is right for the acceptance of a dual mode vehicle, an alternative transportation that would ease traffic congestion and make commuting much faster and more convenient. Although both aircraft and automobile technologies are well established, they have never successfully been merged. Increases in design technology have made the rapid design and production of new concepts possible, yet no other concept under R&D has reached the market yet. As a result, MNDP is in an ideal position to emerge as an initial market leader.
The significant benefits of its proprietary technology are its ability to be flown with a small aerial footprint and land in close proximity with no danger of exposed propellers. While the market for conventional helicopters and small aircraft is relatively mature and somewhat saturated with established products, the market for VTOL ducted fan aircraft is presently untapped. MNDP’s VTOL Cruisers will be at the forefront of a new hybrid industry dedicated to providing an economically feasible alternative means of transportation.
The future of personal transportation is here
Last year, the company announced that it planned to sell its vehicles under the experimental kit aircraft protocol. The cost of the kit is $240,000 without the jet turbine engine, and will be built in four sections including cockpit, duct and tail sections each with 51% assembly required by owner. RAI plans to train existing helicopter and VTOL mechanics and certify a nation wide network of service centers to service and provide support for its VTOL aircraft.
As the company has already started building aircraft parts for its kit vehicle, sales expectations are for $100 million in twelve to eighteen months. The parts have been designed, built and tested prior to shipping. A quarter of the kit parts are built with the rest to be built over the next year, as demand should accelerate the completion and certification of the V1 Vortex production model.
Long-Term Major Market Opportunities
As the need for alternative transportation increases and public awareness increases, MNDP will be in an excellent position to become the market leader. As sales increase over time and competition emerges, the company will be well positioned to use information acquired during production and sales, to continually improve its product to better suit the need of its customers.
MNDP continues to innovate in order to meet the needs of a large and growing market. The company has developed a fourth generation jet turbine ducted fan technology which fuses state of the art design engineering and prototype facility with computer assisted auto flight technologies, remote controlled and composite technologies industry segments. Other design modifications have been incorporated to lower the cost of manufacturing and increase economy of operation, space-efficiency and simplicity. In addition, the company reports that the relatively low power requirements for its UAV technology make it possible for alternative fuel-powered operation, broadening its applications and making it even more environmentally benign.
Rising worldwide awareness of population and economic growth, industrial development, ageing equipment, global warming and increasing pollution continue to drive investments into infrastructure and clean technology.
