CAMELOT FANTASIES

The last press release on TMPS came last October when they announced they were awarded a sub-contract from Patriot Group International LLC of Warrenton, Virginia valued at $24.4 million to provide airborne Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) services in support of U.S. Northern Command (NORTHCOM) . Tempus airborne ISR services will be provided as an element of a more comprehensive Counter Narcotics and Global Threats (CN&GT) contract that was awarded to Patriot earlier this year.
On June 27 TMPS announced it has been awarded a contract from the United States Air Force (USAF) to provide technical services and flight operations to the USAF Weapons Development and Integration Directorate, (WDID) Platform Integration Function, for aviation systems.
Tempus will integrate the USAF’s High-Altitude LIDAR Atmospheric Sensing (HALAS) system into a modified Gulfstream IV aircraft owned by the Company.  The laser-equipped sensor has the capability of measuring, with great precision, atmospheric conditions well into the stratosphere. Tempus will assist in the airborne testing of USAF’s ground-proven HALAS system upon completion of the sensor integration and airframe modifications. If exercises are successful, atmospheric testing will be substantially improved, with a significant reduction in error factors from older sensing capabilities.
“Tempus is looking forward to working with the USAF on this project,” said Tempus CEO Scott Terry. “This is a great opportunity to participate in a project that will provide critical insight into atmospheric conditions and its effect on next-generation aviation platforms. We hope to continue working on such programs with USAF in the future.”
