Global Aerial Surveillance Announces Plans to Develop an Amphibious
Surveillance Vehicle

LAS VEGAS, NV -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 08/31/2005 -- Global Aerial Surveillance
(OTC: GARS), a developer and manufacturer of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV)
for both commercial and military applications, announced today that it is
planning to develop a fully autonomous amphibious UAV designed for
surveillance and search and rescue missions.
Global's new design, named the 'Sea Wraith,' is a fallback on an old
maritime surveillance vehicle that has been used for spotting submarines
and ships in the past. During WW2, sea planes were used to spot enemy
submarines that were encroaching on US coastal waters. These same planes
were responsible for identifying and sinking enemy vessels off US shores
from Florida to Maine. Global will be taking a page out of history, using
what has historically proven effective in the design of its new airframe.
"With the current natural disaster situation involving hurricane Katrina,
we have evaluated how our line of aircraft might be used to assist with
search and rescue and general reconnaissance missions," stated Craig
Cervantes, CEO of Global Aerial Surveillance. "We feel that the Sea Wraith
could be used for many civil missions, including damage assessment, 24-hour
day and night surveillance, or any mission where an 'eye in the sky' is
called for. This aircraft would fit this role perfectly because it needs no
runway and can be taken off and landed from any body of water or flood plain."
Most coastal areas have inlets and rivers where an amphibious UAV could be
deployed very easily. This aircraft, being a fully amphibious design, could
be deployed offshore to oil platforms or reconnaissance missions out on
open water. With a twelve-hour flight duration, the Sea Wraith will be able
to stay aloft to complete missions that involve long-range flight or
extended mission times. Global originally developed this concept for the
homeland security market, to complete long-range missions, including
surveying incoming cargo ships with a chemical and nuclear detection
package to identify potential threats before they reach our ports.
