GA-ASI Mojave STOL UAS Completes First Dirt Operation

SAN DIEGO, CA, Aug 4, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – On Aug. 1, 2023, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) completed multiple successful takeoffs and landings with its Mojave Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) on a dirt strip near El Mirage, Calif.

The ability to take off and land on unimproved surfaces demonstrates Mojave's departure from traditional fixed-wing aircraft's dependence on prepared runways. This new capability provides greater versatility and allows the aircraft to operate in areas previously deemed unsuitable for UAS operations.

"Being able to execute missions in austere locations with runway independence opens the operational envelope for commanders across all services and geographic locations," said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. "Mojave can do this while retaining significant advantages in endurance and persistence over Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) and manned aircraft."

The flight tests were the first-ever Short Takeoff and Landing (STOL) on a dirt surface for Mojave. Takeoffs were performed in as little as 586 feet, and short landings were completed in as little as 335 feet. The tests were primarily focused on gathering terrain feedback using Mojave, not achieving the shortest distances possible.

Tracing its lineage from the MQ-1C Gray Eagle and MQ-9 Reaper, Mojave is a technical demonstrator with STOL capability, making it a versatile expeditionary UAS. Adhering to Modular Open System Approach (MOSA) principles, Mojave leverages the modernized avionics, data links, sensor integration, and laptop ground control station of GA-ASI's Gray Eagle 25M program. These features – along with Mojave's enlarged wings with high-lift devices, combat-proven 450-HP turbine engine, and ruggedized landing gear – make it ideal for semi-improved surfaces with a small ground support footprint.

Mojave provides options for forward-basing operations without the need for typical airport runways or infrastructure, so it can be rapidly deployed from and recovered to non-traditional discrete locations. To extend operational reach, Mojave can fit into a C-130 and be rapidly assembled and employed. These innovations make Mojave the perfect UAS to perform Reconnaissance, Surveillance, and Target Acquisition (RSTA), attack, and contested logistics support missions.

Designed to be rapidly deployable and expeditionary, Mojave's tailored features include a ruggedized airframe that enables operations in austere conditions and weatherization that enables flight in wider environmental windows. Robust wing storage means it can carry up to 16 Hellfire or equivalent missiles, assorted munitions, Launched Effects (LEs), or logistical resupply pods. Mojave can provide greater operational flexibility while still being equipped with a multi-sensor suite that includes Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR), Synthetic Aperture Radar/Ground Moving Target Indicator (SAR/GMTI), Electronic Intelligence (ELINT), and Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) to support land or maritime missions throughout Joint All-Domain Operations (JADO).

Bad News Coming from Holn Gaming
This year they failed to defend their 2022 world title at the international eFootball Open World Championship.

Holn Gaming players placed third in the group stage, so they did not progress to the next round. In the group stage, Holn Gaming players were in group B with the other entrants, and Holn Gaming played in three games. Opposing team representatives were from Brazil, Tunisia and China.

The results of the first match were against representatives from China: Holn Gaming was defeated. They tied against representatives from Brazil; in the final match against representatives from Tunisia, Holn Gaming won the match, but Holn Gaming dropped points and landed third place in Group B. The match was very tense because the finalists included professional players. Skill and mentality are of the utmost importance, and the Brazilian representative went out to become world champion in the open.

Holn Gaming could send its players back next year at efootball world champion game. And while waiting for the 2024 eFootball World Championship, Holn Gaming and all the players will be practicing.

Assetwise (SET: ASW) Joins TOKYO TATEMONO in 2nd Joint Venture, Targeting Campus Condo Market near Burapha University

BANGKOK, Aug 3, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – Assetwise PCL (SET: ASW), in a continuous effort to strengthen and grow in the real estate market, has teamed up with the leading Japanese real estate giant, TOKYO TATEMONO, to jointly invest in the development of the "Kave Coco Bang Saen" project, valued at over 2,000 million baht, targeting the Campus Condo market near Burapha University and reaffirming their leadership position.

Mr. Kromchet Vipanpong, CEO of Assetwise Public Company Limited (ASW), a leading real estate developer in the lifestyle segment with the concept of "Happiness Designed for You" or "We Build Happiness," says that ASW is leading the charge to increase strength and grow in the real estate market. Most recently, ASW entered into a joint venture with Tokyo Tatemono Asia Pte. Ltd., subsidiary of Tokyo Tatemono Co.,Ltd Being the leading and the long history real estate company in Japan, to develop the "Kave Coco Bang Saen" condominium project, located near Burapha University, with a project value of over 2,000 million baht. This successful collaboration further solidifies ASW's leadership in the Campus Condo market, focusing on condominiums located near educational institutions, with ASW holding 51% of the shares and Tokyo Tatemono holding 49%.

"This joint venture marks the second project between our company and Tokyo Tatemono, working together to create residential solutions that cater to the lifestyle of the new generation. It reaffirms the confidence Tokyo Tatemono has in our company as a leader in the Campus Condo market and the lifestyle-oriented real estate market in Thailand. Tokyo Tatemono, a reputable and well-established Japanese listed on the Japanese stock exchange, has a diverse portfolio of real estate developments, including residential and commercial properties, such as hotels, golf courses, and office buildings. They are known for their attention to detail and commitment to developing high-quality projects. In 2022, Tokyo Tatemono's revenue reached up to 86,000 million baht, with registered capital of 24,000 million baht," states Mr. Kromchet.

As for the "Kave Coco Bang Saen" project, it consists of an 8-story condominium comprising 4 buildings with 974 units ranging from 23 to 34.50 square meters each, situated on over 8 rai of land near Burapha University. The project is surrounded by a vibrant community of students and working professionals. Starting at 1.59 million baht a unit, the project's total value amounts to 2,000 million baht.

The CEO of ASW, in discussing the real estate market in Chonburi province, highlighted its remarkable and continuous growth. Chonburi is one of the areas in the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC), which has seen significant infrastructure development, including projects like the Motorway (Pattaya-Map Ta Phut), High-Speed Rail (Bangkok-Rayong), Laem Chabang Phase 3 Deep Seaport, and the High-Speed Rail Linking 3 Airports (U-Tapao-Suvarnabhumi-Don Mueang).

The plan is to establish a center for DNA testing and data storage for genomics in Thailand, promoting advanced medical research and elevating Thailand's healthcare to a leading global level.

Furthermore, Bang Saen is a popular seaside tourist destination that never sleeps, attracting tourists as well as being a gathering place for the lifestyle of the new generation, including the more than 25,000 students from Burapha University, residents, workers, and tourists. This has created a demand for condominium-type residential properties, both from students seeking long-term accommodations for their studies and some students' parents who buy properties for their children to live in during their studies and later sell or rent out for a good return on investment. Additionally, the area attracts investors, workers in the surrounding large industrial estates, and tourists who enjoy the lifestyle in Bang Saen.

Mr.Tajima, Managing Executive Officer and Director of the Overseas Business Division at Tokyo Tatemono Co., Ltd., states that the company recognizes the potential of the "Kave Coco Bang Saen" project, which is located in an area with high purchasing power within the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC). All projects under the Kave brand of ASW have received significant positive feedback from customers, including both residential buyers and investors seeking rental properties for good returns. The company is confident that the Kave Coco Bang Saen project will also be highly successful.

"We have confidence in ASW, a real estate development company with a broad vision, dedicated to elevating the quality of living and adding value in the future. We have seen success with over 50 quality real estate projects, as well as the commitment to expand growth in various markets. This joint venture will lead to another quality project and further strengthen our growth together," Mr. Tajima says.

ASW conducts real estate development focusing on high-rise and low-rise residential projects in high-potential locations. Their projects are designed with the concept of "Happiness Designed for You" or "We Build Happiness," and they have developed over 50 condominium and housing projects under various brands within the group, catering to diverse lifestyles.

The projects consist of 37 completed and ready-to-move-in projects, as well as 13 projects currently under development and for sale. The current backlog stands at over 12,500 million baht in sales revenue.

Camfil Announces a Global Information Drive to Support on Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Expertise

SINGAPORE, Aug 3, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – Today, Camfil announces a global information drive to support on indoor air quality (IAQ) expertise. The aim is to share information on haze related to IAQ with knowledgeable specialists to mitigate impacts on human health and risks to buildings. Haze certainly do not respect borders, as seen from the latest wildfire event in Canada. Researchers also talk about the ‘smoke waves’ phenomenon related to wildfires, with these pollution effects to be experienced for decades to come and now a regular part of global challenges faced.

Furthermore, the smoke produced by such fires contains microscopic particles less than 2.5 microns in size, known as PM2.5 and PM1. Forest fires emit gaseous hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides that react to form ground-level ozone. These pollutants have a long-lasting impact on both air quality and health. Therefore, it is crucial to mitigate the presence of haze in our indoor environments to reduce the negative effects of wildfire smoke.

Access to know-how to address a global issue

Camfil’s global drive clarifies actionable support with specialists and information in order to create safer indoor air quality (IAQ) from wildfire air pollution. Camfil’s team of experts offers specialized knowledge to help reduce indoor air exposure to haze. For instance, during the recent wave of wildfires across Canada, the unhealthy air warnings had an impact on as many as 110 million people in the United States. Camfil’s experts can provide guidance on how to limit exposure to these hazards.

On 7 June 2023, air pollution in New York City was so severe that its air quality rating was one of the worst in the world, second only to the notorious list top, New Delhi, India, due in large part to smoke moving on the winds from Canada. It is also predicted that South East Asia could potentially experience transboundary haze once again this year, caused by regional forest fires, which arise when open burning is used to clear land for agricultural uses, according to the National Environment Agency’s (NEA) website.

Wildfires – Camfil taskforce and information support drive

Camfil provides a dedicated global task force with ongoing support, expert know-how and information to our customers and organisations about what should be done to limit pollution exposure. Given the severe impact of polluted air on human health as humans spend 90% indoors, the Camfil taskforce’s mission is clear – to provide specialist knowledge and resources to mitigate the impacts on human health.

One strategy to mitigate haze risks is to utilise a combination of carbon filtration to control odour and gaseous contaminants and high-efficiency air filters on PM2.5 particles. Reach out to the support teams to learn more about solutions and best practices.

Dedicated support specialists for all industry segments are available to support IAQ issues related to wildfires. Currently there is taskforce support in over 35 countries.

Kingworld Medicines Expects 1H Profit Increased By 35%-40%

HONG KONG, Aug 2, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – Kingworld Medicines Group ("Kingworld Medicines" or the "Group", stock code: 01110.HK), a leading healthcare distribution company, announced a projected rise in profit for the first half of the fiscal year. Based on a preliminary assessment of the unaudited consolidated management accounts of the Group for the six months ending June 30, 2023, the Group anticipates a profit surge ranging from approximately 35% to 40% for the period, compared to the same period last year.

Additionally, the Group's share of profit from a joint venture saw a boost of approximately 55% to 60% compared to the same period last year.

Kingworld Medicines is a company specializing in the distribution of imported branded pharmaceutical and healthcare products in China. The Group adeptly navigated post-pandemic market changes, propelling business expansion by leveraging its industry strengths.

Mr. Zhao Lisheng, Chairman of the Board of Kingworld Medicines Group, commented: "The Group's profit increase was mainly due to market recovery and the Group's employees' unremitting efforts, which adapted post-pandemic. The Group's strengths lie in its strong capabilities in distributing pharmaceutical and healthcare products and its acute insights into the market. Besides, the Group has achieved long-term steady growth by continuously improving efficiency and expanding its business."

Looking ahead, Kingworld Medicines Group will continue to focus on increasing market share, expanding business coverage, and improving efficiency to further enhance the company's profitability and market competitiveness.
