refineries, offshore oil rigs and other high value infrastructure. In June 2004, USGN filed a provisional patent application, and in June 2005 a utility patent application, with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for the entire MAPSANDS system. MAPSANDS combines USGN-developed proprietary, secure and robust control software plus advanced wireless communications and remote power systems with detection and tracking sensors, directed energy acoustics and a suite of accurately delivered non-lethal munitions. Unlike traditional perimeter security solutions, the MAPSANDS system architecture was designed to secure perimeters ranging in length from less than one mile to several hundred continuous miles and to deliver a programmed response based on predetermined rules of engagement. MAPSANDSä relies on advanced radars capable of detecting, tracking and targeting to aim directional acoustic devices delivering clear verbal warnings and aversive warning tones to area perimeter intruders. These powerful acoustic devices are designed to be effective at operationally significant ranges to help determine an approaching intruder's intent and affect the intruder's behavior. In the event an area perimeter intruder fails to heed the increasingly threatening acoustic warnings delivered by MAPSANDS, the system can be programmed to accurately and autonomously target and disperse non-lethal deterrent munitions, such as flash bang, tear gas, malodorants, or rubber pellets to establish a pre-set area denial perimeter. A variety of advanced lethal or non-lethal munitions delivery options are available based on customer specifications and rules of engagement, subject to compliance with applicable laws, treaties and regulations. Continuous remote location power, another key element of the system, is supplied through advanced, highly reliable solar and wind power configurations developed by an independent contractor of USGN that has installed solar and wind power systems in over 50 countries in some of the harshest environments on earth. 
"Until today, perimeter protection really meant perimeter breach notification and dispatching a response team. MAPSANDS is designed to automatically protect and defend high-value remote installations with or without human intervention, eliminating the issues of inadequate manpower or misplaced loyalty that have plagued existing wide-area security endeavors," stated Carl Gruenler, Chief Executive Officer of USGN. "We are now able to conduct mobile demonstrations of MAPSANDS and its capabilities to potential customers. Also, we plan to continue expanding our technology partnerships to help maximize customer-driven flexibility and address multiple mission objectives.""No single technology can eliminate the vulnerabilities in today's complex security environment," continued Mr. Gruenler. "That's why it is so important to adopt a holistic approach to security, one that can address the complexity and scale of today's most challenging security needs by incorporating multiple, coordinated technologies that are capable of operating autonomously under a common set of user-defined protocols."USGN has established sales representation for MAPSANDS in the Middle East Gulf Cooperation Council countries, and is currently evaluating potential sales representatives for North America, Asia and Europe. Going forward, in connection with MAPSANDS, USGN plans to focus on software development, systems integration, new technology development and sourcing system components from independent contractors. Subject to compliance with domestic and international laws and regulations, or treaties, USGN hopes to enter into licensing or other business arrangements with one or more companies that have the financial resources, contacts and expertise needed to effectively market, sell and maintain MAPSANDS installations on a commercial scale worldwide.
