UNIVERSAL ANNOUNCES DELIVERY OF NIGHT-FLYING UAV FOR CIVILIAN DATA ACQUISITION TASKS
Universal Wing Technologies Inc. has taken delivery of its third Venturer-class unmanned airborne vehicle (UAV), targeted at night time "red eye" endurance missions. This aircraft will demonstrate that the Venturer design can fly reliably through the night, taking off at dusk and landing at dawn.
Flying night missions is an advantage for Universal because lower turbulence (at low altitude) makes flying smoother, improving data quality. Magnetic field variations are also reduced at night, improving geophysical data quality. The "red eye" endurance tests will be conducted in the interior of British Columbia and will be completed by August 2010. Revenue-generating missions will then be initiated.
The Venturer UAV is a custom-designed workhorse manufactured exclusively for Universal by Stratus Aeronautics Inc. of Vancouver, BC. The first Venturer carries a camera payload. The second Venturer is currently being used for promotion, and can be viewed at the Universal booth at the PDAC (#603 Trade Show side). Universal has ordered a fourth Venturer in which a horizontal gradiometer (two magnetometers in each wing tip) payload will be installed.

Austin Developments Corp. has changed its name to Universal Wing Technologies Inc. and will trade under the new symbol TSXV:UAV.
Over the past 4 years Universal Wing Geophysics Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Universal Wing Technologies Inc., has been working to become the preferred service provider of unmanned vehicles to the mining/exploration industry. During this time Universal Wing has also participated in a government supported project to provide an unmanned capability to the emergency response/disaster management sector in BC. With the development of its latest Unmanned Vehicle, Universal Wing will soon be in a position to target other industries that seek to benefit from unmanned technology. These industries include pipeline and hydro line surveillance and monitoring, fisheries and any other sector which currently fly fixed wing or helicopter surveys.
Princeton, British Columbia - Universal Wing conducted multiple unmanned flight missions successfully with its latest advancements in the (GIDE) project, a UAV-based Geo-Intelligent collaborative Decision Support System for Real time Disaster and Emergency Management. Upon implementation, the system will radically advance Canadian emergency response capabilities and help save human lives by providing safe, timely, critical information and intelligence to disaster managers. Universal Wing has been working together with Geosys Technology Solutions and its partners since 2007 on this project.
Universal Wing responsibilities include:
