Mundus Group, Inc. Announces AirStar Weather Systems to Continue VTOL UAV Patrols for Government Agencies in Gulf Coast States Providing Real Time Data on 'Lookout' for Hurricane Bill
Why AirStar Weather Systems was called to Service:

After Ike in 2008, AirStar delivered 2 Weather System Drones, state of the artunmanned air vehicles, to Texas, Louisiana and Gulf coast government agencies forhurricane observation and early warning systems. Ike was blamed for at least 195 deaths.

Of these, 74 were in Haiti, which was already trying to recover from the impact of threestorms earlier that year: Fay, Gustav, and Hanna. In the United States, 112 people werekilled, and 34 are still missing. Damages from Ike in US coastal and inland areas areestimated at $24 billion (2008 USD), with additional damage of $7.3 billion in Cuba,$200 million in the Bahamas, and $500 million in the Turks and Caicos, amounting to atotal of $32 billion in damages.

AirStar Weather Systems (AWS) www.airstaruav.com is a dual-purpose service provider,primarily marketed as an advanced meteorological technology drone. AirStar's remotecontrolled UAV VTOL is equipped with technologies providing real time analysisinformation, that when used with regional and county wide weather network services,provides a cost effective solution for gathering enhanced real time data for weathersystems predictions with greater accuracy.

AirStar Weather System's greatest strengths and appeal are in its protection of life andproperty with unmanned performance as an early warning system during nationalemergency weather alerts for severe thunder storms and hurricanes to coastal cities andacross the "tornado alley" from Oklahoma and Texas panhandle through Kansas andNebraska and the world.

Just as important, AWS' second mode or purpose is provided after the storm to search forsurvivors and observe and protect against looters and report fires, floods and damage toinfrastructure while providing visual inspection and life saving information to rescueteams in areas that would be impossible to reach by ground.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Weather Service ClimatePrediction Center said Thursday that there could be as many as three major hurricanesduring this year's 2009 Atlantic hurricane season. Forecasters at the Center said there's a70% chance of having nine to 14 named storms, of which four to seven could becomehurricanes. One to three of those could become major hurricanes, defined as Category 3,4 or 5 storms.

Equipped with advanced aerial Optics and Surveillance packages, fire, rescue and police can observe, automatically monitor and track fires, buildings, people and moving vehicles while sending pin-point accuracy GPS coordinates and real time high definition video images to rescue agencies in the field or public safety control headquarters without leaving their desk.
