STUTTGART, GERMANY and FT. LAUDERDALE, FL--(Marketwire - December 3, 2009) - Sanswire Corp. (OTCBB: [ SNSR ]) today announced that the Sanswire-TAO joint venture has confirmed a private demonstration in Germany of its STS-111 Lighter-than-Air Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) program on December 17-18, 2009 beginning at 9 am local time. The two-day event will take place at Sanswire-TAO facilities in Stuttgart for certain invited guests representing government contractors from the US and abroad.

This private demonstration will feature flight testing and inspection of the initial test version of the STS-111 airship, highlighting the unique capabilities inherent with the flexible segmented design. Sanswire-TAO will also host a tour of their aerospace facilities and laboratories where the ongoing construction of the subsequent commercial STS-111 UAV is taking place. Footage along with updates on the STS-111 program will be available following the demonstration.

The multi-day endurance STS-111 is designed to fulfill a range of mission profiles at mid altitudes, performing both persistent loitering and racetrack operations nonstop for an estimated two and a half days. The airship is engineered to carry various payloads of intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance and communications equipment, as well as having the capability to provide up to a 170-mile operational line of sight. The STS-111 has been designed to rapidly unfold from its standard-size crate and be prepared and tactically launched from virtually anywhere with minimal ground crew and no need for a large hangar or runway.
