Lighter Than Air Systems Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of World Surveillance Group Inc., a developer of lighter-than-air aerostats and unmanned aerial systems, has entered into a distributor agreement with U.S. Government prime contractor ADS, Inc. to distribute Blimp in a Box™ aerostat systems ("BiB") and related sustainment equipment.
ADS is in the business of selling operational and tactical equipment to or for use by customers such as the United States Government and its various agencies and departments and other non commercial customers. ADS customers include the U.S. military, Federal agencies, defense contractors, law enforcement & public safety, fire & emergency services, and foreign military and governments.
LTAS developed and manufactures the BiB aerostat product line. The BiBs are intended to provide semi-persistent, mobile intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance ("ISR") for various applications. Each BiB system can provide low cost, mobile ISR for days, weeks or months with the BiB only requiring a 15 minute recovery and re-launch between top-off every 24-36 hours.
WSGI President and CEO, Glenn D. Estrella, stated, "We look forward to working with one of the premier Government procurement organizations in introducing the BiB to their diversified domestic and global customer base. This agreement is an excellent opportunity for our Company by enabling current and potential customers to efficiently procure our products and services and is another logical step in executing our strategic plan."
