Mundus subsidiary Roadable Aircraft International, Inc. has developed and intends to market a vertical take-off and landing vehicle and (VTOL) ducted fan technology. It should be noted to the investor that all 3 of the RAI (Roadable Aircraft Inc.) Prototypes, business plans and technology were previously invented, researched, developed and built in California between 1992 and 2003 and remains strategically and intellectually based in the Southern California aerospace industry. In 1993 RAI’ first prototype won 1st Place and Best Invention of the Year at the Discovery Channel Invention Convention. RAI’s second prototype was co-developed with US Navy under CRADA contract between 2001 and 2004 and was awarded a US Patent for VTOL Flying Car.
Mundus subsidiary AirStar International Inc has been an innovator and world leader in Unmanned Air Vehicles and Remote Controlled Vertical Take Off and Landing technology for the past 29 years in the design, engineering, development, production and sales of cutting edge (UAVs) for international government and civilian surveillance services, US military, fire and rescue departments as well as aerial photography and laboratory / product data testing. AirStar has developed and built VTOL UAVs for: United States Army, United States Navy, Northrop Grumman, and Guided System Technology. When US Navy and Army rescue helicopters and aircraft are grounded due to heavy fog or smoke from wild fires, the remote controlled, GPS UAV Air Drones are called in to continue search and rescue missions. After Hurricane Ike in 2007, AirStar delivered 12 AirStar Weather Systems state of the art UAVTOL unmanned air vehicles to Texas, Louisiana and Gulf coast government agencies for hurricane observation and early warning systems.

Solutions
Across America there are criminal elements, drug dealers and illegal activities that can take over a neighborhood, part of a city or rural area and have their way with little or no rule of law. It is too easy to jump over walls and hide until the patrol car drives by and with only undercover groups and police working together playing cat and mouse, it is too difficult to manage and time is lost while law enforcement agencies collect information spending months and wasting limited human resources tracking evidence to build a case.
The problem is that there is too much criminal activity on any given day and what happens is typical when we are forced to neglect activities of a lesser offense to target a more serious threat. We cherry pick because our information and intelligence resources are limited.
Solution: Air Intel Intelligence Gathering Systems
Police can observe and collect complete modus operandi of multiple activities with video recordings, addresses, license plate numbers, all while automatically monitoring and tracking moving vehicles while receiving pin-point accuracy GPS coordinates and real time high definition video images sent to police laptops and enforcement agency monitors without leaving their desk. Authorities do not need to risk or waste human resources. Entire cases can be made with undeniable evidence before making arrests.
Air Intel configures each system around the requirements of the client agency’s tasks. Air Intel Systems use Air Drone Inc’s advanced UAV VTOL. Air Intel provides safe, proven, stealth operation from ground or sea level to 7,500 feet altitude, 4-hour autonomous flight and vehicle tracking with real time High Definition video, infrared optics and GPS coordinates that automatically return the Air Drone to base with preprogrammed instructions for refueling before returning to aerial observation and surveillance duty.
The security that Air Intel Systems brings to your community will be measured by your sense of purpose and fulfillment of your mission as someone in charge of public safety. Air Intel provides discrete stealth operations that bring control over vast geographical areas, hovering silently in place under satellite GPS positioning or maneuvering automatically to pre programmed positions each day over tourist attractions, casinos, city intersections or engaged for emergency rescue, fire, accident assessment or task force/SWAT operations.
For the first time peace keeping has entered the 21st century with virtual security systems that are visual real time monitors automatically tracking pedestrian and vehicular activities from multiple locations with the advanced networking capability to coordinate intelligence immediately with numerous laptops in the field as well as City Hall. Completing complex surveillance tasks and intelligence gathering is what Air Intel does reliably, safely and without glitches, 365 days a year, 24/7, day or night, rain or shine.
If you have the responsibility for public safety, Air Intel Systems can provide you with solutions that will empower you to keep control in areas that were unknown before.
Air Intel provides services that increase detailed intelligence gathering to law enforcement and government agencies around the world. Air Intel will increase the geographical area of your control, increase the level of expertise and public trust and security. Air Intel will increase the volume of successful intelligence, surveillance, and observation tasks that will bring real world evidence, intelligence to your residential, town, city, commercial, industrial or other security agency needs.
