AerOhio1 Aerostat Demonstration

A new aeronautical communications device shown off yesterday at the ARES Inc. munitions testing site at the Erie Industrial Park near here could help save lives during future terrorist attacks or natural disasters, Army officials said.
Aerostat, a 75-foot-long blimp that functions like a floating cell phone tower, was designed by SkySentry, a military airship company in Colorado Springs, Colo., to re-establish a universal communications network for local, state, and federal emergency responders to use in emergency situations when traditional communication methods fail.
