"We are excited about the opportunity to work with partners TechSphere and Unitech to conduct airship flight experiments to validate our proprietary paint-on antenna concept to address national priorities such as hurricane disaster relief, homeland security surveillance, science observation missions, and military communications," said David Myers, Vice President of RTI International's Engineering and Technology Unit.

"We look forward to testing the new generation "paint-on antenna" technology next summer as we gear-up for introducing our new line of airships for global communication needs," stated Mike Lawson, President of Techsphere.
