ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS
Sanswire Corp. (the “Company”) announced today that it has been invited by the U.S. Department of Defense (“DoD”) to conduct flight testing and demonstrations of its Argus One UAV at the U.S. Army proving ground facility in Yuma, Arizona. The Company expects to carry out such flight testing operations and demonstrations during a two week period in May/June 2011 and plans on conducting a series of tests ranging from ground based tactical launch scenarios to both tethered and free flight operations. The Company has been working with the DoD to finalize a flight safety plan relating to such test operations and will set the actual dates of the testing and demonstrations once such safety plan has been approved.
Sanswire is working with its technical partner, Eastcor Engineering, on the continued development and testing of the Argus One UAV and Eastcor will oversee and carry out the flight testing and demonstrations in Yuma. The Company will transport the Argus One out to Yuma where the airship and its systems will be readied for flight tests at the Army’s facilities and ranges which cover more than 1,300 square miles of terrain and 2,000 square miles of restricted airspace. For these tests, the Argus One will be operated from a ground station and will be outfitted with a prototype intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (“ISR”) package provided by a leading defense contractor working with Sanswire and Eastcor on the project. Additionally, the Company plans to fly the Argus One with a tracking and monitoring system provided by Global Telesat Corp (“GTC”). The ISR and tracking systems will be integrated into Argus One’s pod bay located at the front of the airship, which can be attached or removed easily for rapid tactical launch scenarios and ease of mobilization.
A copy of the Press Release issued by the Company on April 14, 2011 is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
The foregoing information is a summary of each of the documents and agreements involved in the transactions described above, is not complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of those documents and agreements, each of which is attached as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
