		<description><![CDATA[Newly Designed and Constructed UAV Ready to Fly KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FL&#8211;(Marketwire &#8211; March 28, 2011) &#8211; Sanswire Corp, a developer of lighter-than-air unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and related technologies, announced today that it has unveiled the Company&#8217;s new UAV &#8211; &#8220;Argus One.&#8221; The introduction of Argus One follows the Company&#8217;s recent filing of a provisional patent application in the United States for the new airship design and illustrates the uniqueness of the Company&#8217;s UAV design. Argus One, named after the Greek god Argus, the all-seeing god with one hundred eyes, was designed to meet certain requirements for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) applications for the US military and other governmental agencies. Argus One provides governmental and commercial solutions to a UAV market expected to exceed $62 billion by 2015. Argus One is a lighter-than-air (LTA) UAV designed to fly over areas of interest for extended durations carrying various payloads designed to allow for ISR, communications and other applications. Argus One has low acquisition, maintenance and operational costs compared to heavier-than-air UAVs currently in operation. The design and construction of Argus One follows years of research and development by the Company of alternative LTA technologies and solutions and combines innovative approaches to LTA technology proprietary [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The DEWline reports. The managing director of the Market Intelligence Group (MIG), Herlik has gone public on YouTube with his frustration about what he calls an &#8220;illegal&#8221; move by a former Space Command official to countermand a direct order by a former USAF chief of staff. I&#8217;ve excerpted the key passage from the video below: &#8220;Why aren&#8217;t we doing this? Part of this is the cultural resistance to lighter than air vehicles. The air force for example has absolutely no interest in airships. It&#8217;s just too far from what they choose to do. On top of that, there are technical issues having to do with the altitudes, the environment, radio frequency interference, the number of aircraft in the air. But frankly the bottom line inhibitors are right here: Budgets and careers. As with any technical innovation the old technology will be replaced to some extent, and the losers always resist, especially those whose careers are based on whatever technology is going away. As far as the history, air force space command was assigned to this task by a chief of staff named Jumper back in about 2003. Several years later the technology problems had been solved, to include survivability, which [...]]]></description>
