Flight Safety Technologies, Inc. SOCRATES(R) Technology Testing Interrupted by Vandalism
11 Janvier 2006 - 4:34PM
Business Wire
Flight Safety Technologies, Inc. (AMEX:FLT) announced that during
the New Year's holiday weekend, a break-in occurred at the Denver
International Airport test site for the SOCRATES(R) wake vortex
sensor technology. This break-in resulted in vandalism and theft of
equipment associated with the SOCRATES(R) wake vortex sensor
technology and as well as government owned and operated equipment.
The company equipment is covered by insurance and the appropriate
law enforcement authorities have been notified. The current test
commenced in early September 2005 and had been suspended for the
holiday period when the break-in occurred. The extent of loss and
the impact on development and test schedules is under review. None
of the data taken before the event was lost and data analysis is
still under way. The DIA tests are intended to test the ability of
the SOCRATES(R) wake vortex sensor technology to detect wake
vortices utilizing an array of sixteen beams. The next planned step
is the development and testing of an emulation of a wake vortex
avoidance system (WakeVAS), including the real time validation of
vortex predictions and air traffic control type display
information. FST is performing these tests under a contract from
the U.S. DOT / Volpe Center with Lockheed Martin Corporation as its
principle subcontractor. There can be no assurance that current
testing will be successful, or if or when the next planned step
will proceed. About Flight Safety Technologies, Inc. The company is
currently participating in three advanced technology development
efforts aimed at enhancing aviation safety, security, and
efficiency. In addition to its SOCRATES(TM) airport based
technology for wake vortex detection, the company is working on
UNICORN(TM) airborne collision avoidance radar initiative and
TIICM(TM) technology for protection of airliners against certain
terrorist missiles. "Safe Harbor" statement under the Private
