Lighter Than Air Systems Receives Order for Blimp in a Box Sustainment Equipment to Support the U.S. ArmySustainment Equipment to Be Utilized in Further Blimp in a Box Training and Evaluation Exercises at the U.S. Army Garrison at Fort Polk, LAKENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FL--(Marketwired - Nov 20, 2013) - Lighter Than Air Systems Corp. ("LTAS"), a wholly owned subsidiary of World Surveillance Group Inc. (OTCQB: WSGI), a developer of lighter-than-air aerostats and unmanned aerial systems, has received an order from prime defense contractor A-T Solutions, Inc. for sustainment equipment related to its Blimp in a Box™ aerostat systems ("BiB"). The BiB related components are to be delivered and installed in staged shipments beginning immediately and to be completed within 30 days. The sustainment equipment will be used to support the training and evaluation exercises taking place at the U.S. Army Garrison in Fort Polk, Louisiana. The two LTAS BiB aerostat systems currently in use at the Army's base at Fort Polk were delivered earlier this year under a contract award from the United States Department of Defense which included on-location support, installation and training for the BiB systems. The BiBs are intended to provide semi-persistent, mobile intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance ("ISR") at the platoon level. Each BiB system can provide low cost, mobile ISR for days, weeks or months with the aerostat system only requiring a rapid 15 minute recovery and re-launch helium top-off every 24-36 hours.WSGI President and CEO, Glenn D. Estrella, stated, "We are excited by our growing relationship with the Army and this order for sustainment equipment for the BiBs evidences their continued use of and training on these remarkable systems. We intend to give the Army our full support as our BiBs are placed through vigorous training exercises and evaluations. We look forward to the opportunity to provide the DoD with a low cost, reliable ISR capability to support the warfighter."For more information about WSGI and LTAS, please visit http://www.wsgi.com and www.ltascorp.com.About World Surveillance Group Inc.World Surveillance Group Inc.
