The Mundus Group, Inc. (Pink Sheets: MNDP)has announced that AirStar and the FBI have entered the final stages of feasibility and performance tests of its state of the art Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL) UAV unmanned air vehicles (UAVs).
Josef Obermeier, President of the company, commented, “The FBI has expressed keen interest in AirStar’s aerial surveillance capabilities. AirStar will be building its professional and government agency surveillance UAVs through its dedicated surveillance division, Air Intel Systems”. With Air Intel System‘s 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. Providing stealth operation from sea level to 7,500 feet altitude while running on ethanol with zero emissions, AirStar‘s UAV’s run for two to four hours of autonomous flight and vehicle tracking, automatically returning to base with preprogrammed instructions for refueling before resuming aerial observation and surveillance duty or other instructions. AirStar has pioneered aerial surveillance with government agencies in Brazil, Japan, and the U.S. for applications from ecosphere and environmental protection to surveillance over tourist attractions and downtown intersections. AirStar has been a close ally since 2002 when it was an integral part of the Mundus division, Roadable Aircraft Inc. team which co-developed and built the first UAV VTOL prototype (Unmanned Air Vehicle Vertical Take off & Landing) under RAI‘s 3 year Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the U.S. NAVY at Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division, Pt. Mugu, California. (AirStar International was acquired by Mundus Group on July 25th, this year.)
