Flight Safety Technologies, Inc. is developing three new technology projects aimed at enhancing the safety and security of aviation.

Project SOCRATES^TM is a patented laser acoustic sensor technology for the detection and localization and tracking of wake vortex turbulence as a potential airport installation for U.S. and International airport markets. Following a successful test of a four beam configuration in September of 2003, the company has been expanding the system to sixteen beams and preparing for a major test at Denver International Airport in September of 2005.

The company is developing a patented airborne collision avoidance radar called UNICORN^TM which is scheduled for an initial tower-based proof-of-principle test in August of 2005. UNICORN^TM is being developed for potential general aviation applications, as well as potential government use in unmanned aerial vehicles.
