"When one considers the world's growing and urgent need for cost effective weapon, support and training systems, we are excited to be participating in the efforts to exploit ACWI's existing contracts and potential business opportunities," stated Venga's President, Hirsh Kwinter. "Venga has long been involved in pursuing the development of new and innovative solutions to the military's changing aerospace requirements. We view our participation with ACWI as a logical evolution of Venga's original goal of being a supplier of unique and advanced aerospace platforms for an increasingly sophisticated and cost sensitive market place," continued Kwinter.

"Our existing network of service sub-contracts with the U.S. military presents us with a great opportunity to secure an important share of this very lucrative and growing market," stated ACWI's President, Kirby Duffy. "Venga's presence and participation in our ongoing efforts to service and administrate these contracts will, in our opinion, prove to be a valuable, if not, necessary asset," explained Duffy. "We are also interested in exploring all opportunities to re-vitalize and re-launch Venga's dormant, fully composite drone/aircraft project. Venga's TG - 10 Brushfire brush·fire also brush fire
