Flight Technologies, Inc. AWSM Technology Update.MYSTIC, Conn. -- Flight Safety Technologies, Inc. (AMEX AMEX See: American Stock Exchange :FLT FLT Fault FLT Flight FLT Flat FLT Filter FLT Fleet FLT Fermat's Last Theorem FLT Fairlight (software cracking group) FLT Float/Floating FLT Fairfield Language Technologies FLT Fork Lift Truck FLT First Lieutenant ) Chairman Samuel A. Kovnat announced on November 6, 2006 during an interview in Wall Street.Net an update to the Company's schedule for testing of AWSM AWSM Awesome AWSM Association of Women in Sports Media AWSM Arctic Warfare Super Magnum (sniper rifle) AWSM Acoustic Warfare Support Measure AWSM Age of Wonders Shadow Magic (computer game) . The current schedule calls for initial AWSM emulation demos commencing in December, 2006. These initial demos are planned as "canned emulations", that is, based on aircraft arrival data previously recorded by Socrates and Lidar (LIght Detection And Ranging) A method of measuring atmospheric conditions including temperature and wind. Lidar works by transmitting laser signals using all light ranges (ultraviolet, visible, infrared) and amplifying the light that is scattered back through sensors, during the September 2005 tests at Denver International Airport This article is about Denver International Airport. For other uses, see KDEN (disambiguation). Denver International Airport (IATA: DEN, ICAO: KDEN, FAA LID: DEN), often called DIA . These emulation demos will also involve aircraft wake predictions which are being developed, and will be provided by NASA NASA: see National Aeronautics and Space Administration. NASA in full National Aeronautics and Space Administration Independent U.S. , and the emulation is intended to demonstrate how these predictions will be validated by the sensors. If these canned emulation demos prove successful, the Company plans to conduct what it refers to as "live emulation" demos commencing in the spring and summer of 2007. Although the Company is continuing to seek further government funding, Mr. Kovnat confirmed it is committed to completing these demos within its budgeted investment planning, using some of its internal resources which are more than adequate for this purpose. Mr. Kovnat also announced that the Company has received "expressions of interest" from U.S. Airports including Anchorage, Las Vegas, Honolulu, Miami and Memphis to explore "beta site" installations of the Company's AWSM technology. AWSM, an acronym for Aircraft Wake Safety Management System, is a technology the Company is pursuing as an outgrowth of its SOCRATES[R] Aircraft Wake Vortex Sensor technology. Additionally, Emirates Airlines in Dubai, United Arab Emirates United Arab Emirates, federation of sheikhdoms (2005 est. pop. 2,563,000), c.30,000 sq mi (77,700 sq km), SE Arabia, on the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. has expressed interest in exploring a beta site AWSM installation. Emirates Air has given the company runway utilization data which the Company has utilized in a software program that will produce a business case cost/benefit analysis as a decision tool for Emirates Airlines' evaluation of the Company's AWSM technology. The ability of the Company to proceed on any beta site installations of AWSM technology depends on many factors, including further successful development and testing of AWSM and procurement of funding and various governmental approvals. There can be no assurance the Company will succeed in such testing or obtaining such funding or approvals. A complete transcript is available on the website of the Company at www.flysafetech.com. About Flight Safety Technologies, Inc. Flight Safety Technologies, Inc. is a development stage company pursuing advanced technologies aimed at enhancing safety, security and efficiency for the aviation industry. The Company is currently pursuing three technologies called SOCRATES[R], UNICORN unicorn (y `nĭkôrn), fabulous equine beast with a long horn jutting from the middle of its forehead. [TM] and TIICM[TM]: * SOCRATES[R] is an airport based laser acoustic sensor for the detection and tracking of wake vortex turbulence. * UNICORN[TM] is an airborne radar for collision avoidance using state of the art components to achieve low cost, small size and light weight. * TIICM[TM] is an airborne passive countermeasure system to protect airliners against the threat of certain terrorist missile attacks.
