New CyberBug Defense Technology Presented Worldwide

(July 29, 2005 – NEWSdial.com) Cyber Defense Systems, Inc, a designer and developer of next generation unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV’s), has been presenting their latest technological advancement, the CyberBug™ to audiences around the world. Most recently the CyberBug surveillance UAV was displayed at the Paris Air Show.

Cyber Defense displayed three sizes of the CyberBug, as well as the vertical take off and landing CyberScout™ during the third unmanned aerial vehicle air show at Webster Field in front of nearly 5,000 people, including Secretary of the Army Francis J. Harvey and U.S. Rep. Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md.).

The CyberBug was also utilized as a surveillance vehicle at the 12th Annual Southern Maryland "Blessing of the Bikes" event, held at the Charles County Fairgrounds in La Plata, MD. This event is often viewed as an annual curse by local law enforcement. The light-weight UAV provided aerial video to officers on the ground, readily alerting them to crowd activities, accidents, and other disturbances in the area. The UAV's capabilities helped alleviate the pressure commonly felt by law enforcement when monitoring this event. Cyber Defense's UAV's have capabilities for both law enforcement and military applications.

Captain Michael Wyant of the Charles County Sheriff's Office saw a multitude of applications for use of the CyberBug(TM) with law enforcement. "It's certainly something of great interest to us," Wyant said. "It's really cutting-edge right now."

The military has come to rely on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV's) for reconnaissance and attack missions, helping to alleviate loss of life in Afghanistan and Iraq. "The Defense Department has spent $1 billion since 2000 to research aerial drones," stated Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Thomas J. Kuster.

The tremendous feedback Cyber Defense Systems has received in response to the CyberBug capabilities and applications has encouraged the Company to participate in two trade shows in Britain in September. Later in the year the Company also plans on attending the Mid-East Air Show in Dubai, as well as the Unmanned Vehicle Show with UVS in November. This show coincides with the International Chiefs of Police show.

Barry Nelson, Vice President of Sales for Cyber Defense said, "Coming off a great show experience at the Paris Air Show and the UAV conference in Baltimore, we intend to participate in other shows to acquire new international sales distributors for the CyberBug(TM) product line. The show in Paris brought many new prospects for our distribution program and we want to continue to attract additional resellers as we ramp up manufacturing."
