CYDF News CyberBug(TM) Achieves Flight Altitude Milestone During Air Force Academy War Training Exercise; Cadets See It Operate in Recon and Target Surveillance Situations
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 29, 2006--Cyber Defense Systems, Inc. (OTCBB:CYDF) announces that its CyberBug(TM) hand-launched UAV successfully participated in war training exercises at the U.S. Air Force Academy 7/27/06-7/28/06.
"The CyberBug(TM) excelled in flying ten recon and target surveillance sorties at the Academy. The first-year Cadets saw just how the Bugs operate in these situations. We gave an impressive performance flying flawlessly in turbulence in a valley surrounded and filled with trees, breaking our own record of 7,000 feet by flying at a density altitude of 10,500 feet. The Bug's pan and tilt camera gave consistent clear and stable video to the end users proving the damping effects of our design. The Secretary of the Air Force was present along with numerous military officers. We are looking forward to participating in the next set of training exercises," states Jim Alman, VP Engineering, Cyber Defense Systems.
