'The Allied Defense Group, Inc. (Amex: ADG) announces its Global Microwave Systems (GMS) subsidiary has successfully completed the industry's first successful unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) flight demonstration of a High-Definition (HD) video wireless link.

The demonstration was held on April 10, 2006, at GMS' facilities in Carlsbad, CA, in partnership with Flying-Cam of Belgium using a GMS "High- Definition Messenger Link" (HDML) mounted on a Flying-Cam UAV platform. This is the first known successful flight demonstration of a HD link on a UAV platform and paves the way for real-time HD long-range aerial filming for the movie and TV-Broadcast industry. It also opens up the capability for operational deployment of HD UAV platforms in critical surveillance and covert applications that require high resolution images.'
