STS-111 UAV Airship Arrives In US

German Aircraft To Get Payload Integration Work In Maryland

The newest UAV airship from the German manufacturer Sanswire has arrived in Maryland for initial inspection of the craft, and the integration of intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) technologies into the UAV's sensor bay. Sanswire has turned the STS-111 over to specialized electronics engineering firm, Eastcor Engineering, which has already undertaken similar work on Sanswire's SkySat UAV.

Chairman of Sanswire's Board Mr. Michael Clark said, "We are working with Eastcor and our other partners to bring the STS-111 to the marketplace as quickly as possible. My main focus of effort at this point is to get the craft fully integrated and tested with possible payloads and ready for sale. This focused effort, along with my desire to expand the scope of the flight demonstration, has necessitated a rescheduling of the planned flight demo and its relocation to a flight field near Eastcor's facilities in Maryland. I know our shareholders and investors are anxious to see the craft in action, but before we do that, we must work on making the craft fully operational and ready for the market."

"This is an important time in our company's history," said Sanswire CEO Glenn Estrella. "We are about to cross the threshold from a development stage company to a fully functional commercial enterprise. That means that we must focus on producing product and generating future sales and revenues. The important work that Eastcor and our other partners will be doing for us in the near future helps make that goal a reality."
