Sanswire Encouraged by Obama Administration's Support of UAV Industry

Sanswire Corp. confirmed to shareholders and technology partners that it is encouraged by President-Elect Barack Obama's plan to utilize Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) as part of the Obama/Biden defense initiative, as outlined in the "Build Defense Capabilities for the 21st Century" subheading of the Defense section on the official Barack Obama website, www.barackobama.com/issues/defense.

"The new administration's plan, as described on the official website, indicates that UAVs, such as those Sanswire makes, can be instrumental in not only helping to equip our troops more thoroughly, but also in preserving our global reach in the air. We find this extremely encouraging as the focus of our business plan is to build UAV products integrated with the customized payloads that help achieve our customers' missions, most of which are expected to relate to global peacekeeping initiatives," stated Jonathan Leinwand, Chief Executive Officer of Sanswire.

Language specific to UAVs contained within that section states: "We cannot repeat such failures as the delays in deployment of armored vehicles, body armor and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles that save lives on the frontlines," and "We need greater investment in advanced technology ranging from the revolutionary, like Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and electronic warfare capabilities, to essential systems like the C-17 cargo and KC-X air refueling aircraft, which provide the backbone of our ability to extend global power."

According to the Government Accountability Office in its November 2008 report on Unmanned Aircraft Systems, the US Department of Defense plans to spend more than $17 billion from 2008 to 2013 for UAV systems with expanded and new capabilities, and it reprogrammed about $1.3 billion in 2008 funds with congressional approval to increase ISR capabilities, including unmanned aerial systems, to support ongoing operations.

The Company is likewise encouraged by the investment community's recognition of the growth opportunities within the UAV industry, particularly by CNBC's Jim Cramer, host of "Mad Money," on his October 28, 2008 broadcast. Cramer cited cost benefits and the reduction of the risk of loss of life in the military within the context of Obama's support of UAVs, and stated, "While Obama might not support all defense spending, he supports Unmanned Aerial Vehicles."

Leinwand added: "We continue to work towards out stratospheric flight goals and become more involved in the UAV opportunities that exist today, and future plans for emergency preparedness, communications, and our country's protection."
