LAS VEGAS, May 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Mundus Group, Inc. (Pink Sheets: MNDP) and AirStar announces the new-ducted fan technology will replace the current state of the art AirStar in service with government agencies worldwide. Currently, AirStar has been under contract with US Army, US Navy and US Air Force as a search and rescue vehicle. When lives are at stake and fog or smoke is too heavy to fly conventional rescue and search missions in, helicopters are grounded, and that is when they call the AirStar with its advanced 360-degree real time HD video camera and infrared surveillance optical package.
The increased stability of RAI's technology is inherent in the counter rotating propellers, which makes the vehicle gyroscopic and provides "the most stable solution," as Head of New Technology for the Pentagon and Far West Federal Laboratories, Mike Sullivan said upon creation of RAI's CRADA in 2001. Mundus Group will sell its vehicles as complete packages for surveillance, aerial photography, special effects and an array of robotics packages.
Furthermore, in 2003 the US Navy co-developed an unmanned air vehicle, UAV under a Co-operative Research and Development Agreement with Mundus Group's Roadable Aircraft and AirStar International, Air Drone's mother company. Planned proposals included a small maneuverable Unmanned Vertical Take-off and Landing (UVTOL) combat vehicle with the capability to hover and provide firepower. It could also eliminate or neutralize threats prior to the deployment of forces. The proposed UVTOL would be equipped with surveillance and firepower such as an M-34 Minigun. The proposed UVTOL is designed to be launched from a Trident submarine missile silo, or trailered into a secure position over 100 miles from target.

The Air Drone combat vehicle is a smaller scale evolution of a current ducted fan roadable air vehicle for personal transportation in which RAI holds a patent. The military design modification for UVTOL combat vehicle applications would be the addition of sensors, ballistic armor, remote control actuators, and armament. The overall duct diameter is reduced from 100 to 83 inches to enable the vehicle to be launched from a submarine.
The high payload capability allows the ultra high mobility Unmanned VTOL vehicle to carry larger systems such as the Sidekick augment to the Navy SLQ-32(V)1 Electronic Countermeasures system, which can provide active radar jamming protection and decoy protection to ships without active transmitters. Air Drone Inc, Air Intel Systems and Roadable Aircraft Inc are fully owned subsidiaries of the Mundus Group, Inc.
