Article Excerpt: “Terrorist Conspiracy Revealed”

By Ann-Marie Fleming, HomelandDefenseStocks.com
April 2005

The recent indictment of the three men alleged to have been involved in a terrorist plot to attack several financial institutions in New York, Washington and New Jersey, serves as a strong reminder of the potential threats that face this nation. The targeted buildings have been identified by officials as the New York Stock Exchange and Citigroup Center, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and Prudential headquarters, all of which were believed to have been under surveillance by the alleged terrorists between August 2000 and April 2001.

The prioritization by Homeland Security and the Department of Defense for equipping the nation with technology that can identify such threats before they materialize is exemplified by the Bush Administration’s FY 2006 budget request which indicates explosives detection and bioterrorism defenses as key areas for increased funding and development.

Companies such as Electronic Sensor Technology (OTCBB: ESNR) are filling a critical need as providers of Homeland Security solutions that help to identify and prevent future attacks involving explosives, as well as odorous biological or chemical threats.

Christopher C. Green, MD, PhD, FAAFS

Dr. Green is in the practice of forensic medicine (American Academy of Forensic Sciences) and neuroimaging (Detroit Medical Center/Harper University Hospital/Wayne School of Medicine).

HDS Features Strategy X Inc.

HomelandDefenseStocks.com New Featured Profiled Company: Strategy X, Inc. - Homeland Security Solutions Provider – Team Features Over 100 Years of Military Experience

POINT ROBERTS, WA (PRWEB) March 12, 2005 -- www.HomelandDefenseStocks.com (HDS) and www.BorderAndPortSecurity.com are pleased to announce that Strategy X, Inc.

Strategy X, Inc. professionals, specialists and experts have conducted performance based security assessments, installations, integration management and maintenance on all of the Air Force's highest priority resources and security systems including the nation's highest priority weapons systems.

What Differentiates Strategy X from the Competition?
The Strategy X, Inc. team consists of the original instructors and top team leaders and members from the effects based security assessment teams and installation, integration management and security system maintenance specialists used by the United States Air Force.

Over 100 years of Security Management and On-Site Field experience in Installations, Integration Management and Security System Maintenance. Strategy X, Inc. professionals, specialists and experts have conducted performance based security assessments, installations, integration management and maintenance on all of the Air Force's highest priority resources and security systems including the nation's highest priority weapons systems.

Over 40 years of experience in the Performance Based Security applications of Modeling and Simulation, Performance Criteria and System Reliability for government and civil applications. Security system designs in the past have been solely dependant on written standards and expert judgment. This however, leaves a very important question unanswered: Will this system protect the personnel or resources it is designed to protect? Strategy X, Inc. has the answer. The effectiveness of a security system can be identified, as well as the associated risk to personnel or resources requiring protection. If the security system is deemed ineffective, credible solutions can be identified, tested, and included in the final design.

Identifying Security System Effectiveness is accomplished by applying a 'reliability study'. This methodology is a very common process, and has been widely used to ensure systems are designed to perform in the most effective manner, while minimizing life-cycle cost. This methodology has been being applied to security system designs for over 30 years, but has never before been available to organizations outside of the Department of Energy and the United States Air Force.

Strategy X, Inc. (OTC.PK: SRGX), will be participating in the upcoming HomelandDefenseStocks.com Homeland Defense Stocks Online Investor Conference on April 06, 2005. http://www.investorideas.com/forums/

Conference Background: In October of 2004, President Bush signed the 2005 Homeland Security Appropriations Act, which provides $28.9 billion in discretionary spending for the Department of Homeland Security--$1.8 billion more than the 2004 level and a 6.6% increase over the previous year. A total of $40.7 billion will be available to the department in 2005.

Project BioShield will provide an additional $2.5 billion in 2005 for medical countermeasures against weapons of mass destruction, and improved bio-surveillance for biological agents in high-threat cities and high-value targets, such as stadiums and transit systems. With overall spending up, many public stocks in the homeland security industry are thriving.

Billions more dollars are being invested to protect the world's homes, food supply, mail service, airlines, data, and people. Some researchers anticipate that the homeland security industry will grow to more than $170 billion in 2006.

Markland Technologies Subsidiary, EOIR Technologies, Inc. Announces Development of Airborne Reconnaissance Device

New State of the Art Airborne Sensor Provides Enhanced Surveillance Capabilities

Ridgefield, CT (PRWEB) March 3, 2005 -- Markland Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: MRKL), a defense and homeland security company transforming advanced laboratory technology into real-world products, announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary EOIR Technologies Inc. has completed development of a new airborne optical surveillance sensor named the Lightweight Image-Enhanced Zoom-able Reconnaissance Device (LIZRD).

The LIZRD airborne reconnaissance device is a unique compact aerial high resolution imaging system designed to be flown in conjunction with hyper-spectral sensors, which offer a high resolution view of an aerial scene. The LIZRD utilizes a fiber optic gyro and GPS for attitude and position information, as well as a high resolution line scanning camera with a digital capture capability for imagery data collection. LIZRD performs motion correction to compensate for aircraft attitude variation, stamping the information onto digital imagery data for either real-time motion correction or post processing. Mission and imagery analysis software are also included with the LIZRD sensor suite.

This new product development is one of a number which are currently under way within the Software and Systems Research and Development Division (SSRD) at EOIR Technologies Inc. The SSRD product development team consists of 30 employees with diversified skill sets in the areas of; software, electrical and mechanical engineering as well as graphic design and training. They are located in a new state of the art design and development facility located in Fredericksburg, Virginia that houses several technical laboratories which include: an electronics lab, three systems integration labs, and a mechanical and laser lab. These laboratories provide SSRD development team members with ample space to develop new software and systems solutions and products as well as conduct state of the art research in electro-optics and infra-red technology.
"This new state of the art facility allows our division to optimize existing projects, expand productivity, and grow new capabilities," states EOIR Vice President Diane Deterline, who heads the SSRD division.

"Our business plan is centered around dual use technologies which can be applied to both the DOD and Homeland Security marketplaces. To that extent the fabulous people we have working at SSRD are providing Markland with new and innovative product concepts which we hope to leverage to increase revenues and gross margins for the business," states Markland CEO Robert Tarini.

Many of the products and services being delivered from EOIR utilize next-generation electro-optic and infrared sensor technologies that are being used in direct support of U.S. military combat operations in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere.

HomelandDefenseStocks.com Reports: Explosive Detection System Technologies – Intelligence Points To Increased Aviation Industry Terrorist Threats Including Hijacking and Bombing - New Homeland Security Defense Budget Proposes $5 Billion for Airport Security.

Points Roberts, WA (PRWEB) February 27, 2005 -- HomelandDefenseStocks.com Reports: Explosive Detection System Technologies – Intelligence Points To Increased Aviation Industry Terrorist Threats Including Hijacking and Bombing.

Companies like Hawk Protection Systems, Inc. (OTC.PK: HWPR), Markland Technologies (OTCBB: MRKL), and Electronic Sensor Technology (OTCBB: ESNR) are all in the business of either developing or manufacturing explosive detection solutions, which are currently in high demand.

Speaking recently before a US Senate committee David Stone, administrator with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), said that intelligence points to growing terrorist threat possibilities within the aviation industry. Of the recent $5.6 billion proposed Homeland Security Department budget, nearly $5 billion is earmarked exclusively for aviation security. In addition to the larger conglomerates providing security solutions, smaller companies have had, and continue to have, an important role in researching and developing new technologies for use in explosive detection solutions.

Article Excerpt: Explosive Detection System Technologies – Intelligence Points To Increased Aviation Industry Terrorist Threats Including Hijacking And Bombing.

By Brian Eriksen Noer, HomelandDefenseStocks.com
February 2005

Given the current environment within North America and the Bush administration, right now would seem to be a very profitable point in time to be in the explosives detection system (EDS) business. Speaking recently before a US Senate committee David Stone, administrator with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), said that intelligence points to growing terrorist threats within the aviation industry. Of the recent $5.6 billion proposed Homeland Security Department budget, nearly $5 billion is earmarked exclusively for aviation security.

Nico Melendez, TSA Field Communications Director for Los Angeles (which manages security for LAX airport, among others), said that the TSA continues to test new technologies that will make the agency more efficient, while relieving the need for added human resources. “The TSA has opportunities for small businesses in both primary contractor and subcontractor roles. Smaller companies have had, and continue to have, an important role in researching and developing new technologies for use in explosive detection.”

Deirdre O’Sullivan, TSA Spokesperson, concurred with Melendez, stating that, “The TSA sources their current and new technologies from both smaller companies and larger conglomerates. In the past few years we have seen that the larger conglomerates tend to buy smaller companies with promising technologies. The TSA is of course out to purchase the most up to date technologies possible.”

"The current airport security systems are outdated, ineffective and very costly to operate,” said John Altes, CEO of Hawk Protection Systems (OTC.PK: HWPR). “In fact, several governmental agencies who have studied the issue have dubbed current explosive detection technologies as the weak point in airport security and are in the process of setting up guidelines and standards that will be in effect throughout the US within the next 2 years."

In 1995 Electronic Sensor Technology (OTCBB: ESNR) perfected their patented zNose technology and spun it off to form the current company. “We delivered several prototypes to the FAA and the army,” said Edward Staples, Managing Director. “Back in those days threats were pretty simple – mostly nitro based compounds. Today, the situation has changed dramatically. Threats do not just encompass explosives. The shoe bomber for example, was carrying a compound called TATP (triacetone-triperoxide), which cannot be seen with a nitro based detector.”

Ken Ducey, President of Markland Technologies (OTCBB: MRKL) “There is no question that a wave is coming, and we want to make sure that Markland is at the forefront of that wave. Our technology portfolio is diversified and ahead of the curve. Our suite of next-generation electronic imaging and detection solutions are being designed to spot suicide bombers and terrorists before they can carry out their attacks."

HomelandDefenseStocks.com ‘Electronic Signage Networks’ Report: “From Advertising to Terrorist Alerts and First Responders – Keeping the Public Informed”

Point Roberts, WA (PRWEB) February 17, 2005 -- www.HomelandDefenseStocks.com (HDS) and www.BorderAndPortSecurity.com (BPS), investor news portals for the Homeland Defense and Security Sectors, are pleased to offer investors an exclusive report regarding the current use of, and demand for Digital and Electronic Signage Networks.

Electronic Signage Networks (ESN) are LED, LCD, or plasma based screen display solutions that are utilized within the Homeland Defense sector in airports, borders, ports, highways, and other public areas to inform and manage crowds of people during emergency or disaster scenarios. Electronic Signage Display solutions are in high demand for use by first responders, firefighters in building stairwells for example, or by law enforcement officers at the scene of road accidents or traffic related incidents. ESN are also in demand in the commercial sector for their high degree of efficiency in distributing and managing local and nationwide visual advertising campaigns and public information distribution.

The HDS and BPS websites do not make recommendations, but offer a unique free information portal to research news, exclusive articles, interviews, investor conferences and a growing list of participating public companies in the sector.

Article Excerpt: Electronic Signage Networks within Homeland Defense: Keeping the Public Visually Informed

By Brian Eriksen Noer, HomelandDefenseStocks.com
February 2005

In North America today, an informed public is a high priority. Throughout the Homeland Defense, commercial, and corporate sectors, displaying visual messages in a timely, efficient, and highly controllable manner is a much sought after and therefore profitable enterprise. Many companies within the Electronic Signage Networks (ESN) industry are currently developing and supplying solutions that work hard to incorporate the indispensable elements of: ease of use, portability, effectiveness, diversity of usage, and extreme manageability.

Companies like NEC Solutions (NASDAQ: NIPNY), OnScreen Technologies (OTCBB: ONSC), Sarnoff Corporation, Markland Technologies (OTCBB: MRKL), Panasonic (the North American headquarters of Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. Ltd. - NYSE: MC) and Automated Digital Signage Networks, Inc. all provide either complete signage solutions or products that enable the distribution and eventual public display of information and data more efficiently.

“We think that the plasma display market in general will show a healthy rate of growth over the next few years, especially on the consumer side,” said Keith Yanke, product marketing manager with NEC Solutions (America), Inc. “The commercial sector, specifically digital signage, is also healthy. Judging by our market research data and client feedback, we expect 2005 to be a very good year for digital signage.”

Leslie Wherett, Marketing and Creative Manager with Panasonic Corporate Systems Company, agreed quoting a study by The Digital Signage Directory, stating that the market is poised to increase by 300% in the next five years. Wherett attributes this phenomenal increase to the fact that, “point of purchase sales increase by about one and a half times in a retail outlet utilizing digital signage.”

“We have to reverse the dumbing of our highways and consciously build a more intelligent roadway system,” said Steve Velte, President of Product Division with OnScreen Technologies. “This segment of the market is showing robust, almost double digit gains, which is impressive at a time when a lot of technology spending is down.”

Aethlon Medical, Inc. (OTCBB: AEMD) announced today that Company Chairman and CEO, James A. Joyce will present at the NYSSA Homeland Security Industry Conference on March 2nd

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) February 17, 2005 -- Aethlon Medical, Inc. (OTCBB: AEMD) announced today that Company Chairman and CEO, James A. Joyce will present at the NYSSA Homeland Security Industry Conference on March 2nd. Mr. Joyce will update attendees on the development progress of Aethlon's treatment countermeasures against biological weapons, and will also discuss the Company's upcoming trials to treat HIV-Infected individuals in India. The Conference will be held at the Harvard Club in New York City. Additional details can be found at www.nyssa.org

About The NYSSA
The New York Society of Security Analysts (NYSSA) has educated and inspired investment professionals since 1937, providing them with a unique forum for the exchange of ideas and information. NYSSA's founders included Benjamin Graham, "the father of security analysis" and one of the most influential men in the history of finance. As a not-for-profit educational organization, NYSSA's twin goals are to inform and educate investors; and to advance the professional competence of investment professionals, including security analysts, portfolio managers, investment advisors, and others involved in the investment process.

Conference Background
In October of 2004, President Bush signed the 2005 Homeland Security Appropriations Act, which provides $28.9 billion in discretionary spending for the Department of Homeland Security--$1.8 billion more than the 2004 level and a 6.6% increase over the previous year. A total of $40.7 billion will be available to the department in 2005.

Project BioShield will have an additional $2.5 billion in 2005 for medical countermeasures against weapons of mass destruction, and improved bio-surveillance for biological agents in high-threat cities and high-value targets such as stadiums and transit systems. With overall spending up, many public stocks in the homeland security industry are thriving.

About Aethlon Medical
Aethlon Medical is pioneering the development of viral filtration devices to treat HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis-C (HCV), and pathogens that are mass casualty biological warfare candidates. Each treatment application employs the use of a proprietary technology known as the Hemopurifier(TM), which is designed to rapidly reduce the presence of infectious disease and toxins in the body. The Hemopurifier converges the established scientific principals of affinity chromatography and hemodialysis as a means to augment the immune response of clearing viruses and toxins from the blood before cell and organ infection can occur. More information on Aethlon Medical and the Hemopurifier technology is available at www.aethlonmedical.com.
