Non-Compliant Vehicle Arresting System to Be Introduced to Military
and Law Enforcement Markets Colonel Jeffrey Powers, CEO of Homeland
Security Technology, Inc. (a division of Amnis, Inc. (Pink
Sheets:AMNI)), announced today that HST, Inc. and Joint Venture
Partner Digital Force Technologies unveiled the "Quarterback", a
multipurpose pneumatic launching system. The "Quarterback" was
originally developed by Digital Force Technologies for use by
special operations forces primarily for conducting underway ship
interdictions. The "Quarterback" is capable of launching a
grappling hook and caving ladder over a five story building. Some
of the other potential uses for the "Quarterback" launch system
include numerous search and rescue applications and use by military
and law enforcement to safely and rapidly introduce bulking, hard
to deliver operational gear into hostile environments. HST, Inc.
has recognized the "Quarterbacks" potential in urban warfare
environments, particularly in launching tire-puncturing or
entanglement gear into roadways in efforts to stop or impede
non-compliant vehicles. "We are in the process of testing the
'Quarterback' as a means of launching a 'vehicle arresting system'
in order to stop non-compliant vehicles on roadways and during
checkpoint operations both domestically and overseas. Car bombs and
vehicular-based insurgent activity are constant threats in an urban
warfare environment. We believe the 'Quarterback' launch system has
the potential to safely, rapidly and effectively introduce hardened
gear that can act to stop or significantly impede a vehicle's
progress without harming inhabitants," commented Colonel Powers.
"The 'Quarterback' Pneumatic Launcher has tremendous application in
rapidly delivering hardened vehicle stopping obstructions into the
pathway of moving vehicles in a hostile environment. We believe
that once the 'Quarterback' is introduced to U.S. military
commanders they will recognize the effectiveness of this technology
in accomplishing their military goals and adopt it into the urban
warfare arsenal," concluded Colonel Powers. Both HST Inc. and
Digital Force Technologies state that preliminary tests proved
promising and development is continuing. Marketing efforts are
underway to introduce this item to military, law enforcement,
search and rescue and civilian customers both here at home and
overseas. About Digital Force Technologies www.DigitalForceTech.com
