American Defense Systems, Inc.: The Science Channel's "Brink" to Feature American Defense Systems' Protective Glass U
HICKSVILLE, NY--(Marketwire - January 22, 2009) - American Defense Systems, Inc. ("ADSI") (
Hosted by Josh Zepps, "Brink" is The Science Channel's premier series for immersing viewers in cutting-edge breakthroughs in technology, research, inventions, and the mysteries of the scientific world.
The program will show various pieces of ADSI's protective glass being shot at close range by high-caliber automatic weapons, including several dozen rounds fired at the company's Portable Transparent Ballistic Shield (PTBS). Emmy award-winning investigative reporter, Armen Keteyian, interviewed ADSI's President and CEO Anthony J. Piscitelli, as well as the company's COO Ferg Foley and senior VP of research and development, Vic LaSala, who explained the unique characteristics and capabilities of ADSI's protective glass.
"Our protective glass comprises special materials laminated by a proprietary process that creates a transparent shield," said Piscitelli. "We're especially proud this product was used to provide a very high level of protection and security for President Obama during his election night victory speech and presidential inaugural, but without obscuring the view of television cameras or the thousands who attended the events. The government has a number of competitive alternatives to choose from, so we believe their selection of ADSI reflects our reputation for delivering state-of-the-art products to those who require the highest level of physical security."
The company plans to post a replay of the broadcast on its website at [ www.adsiarmor.com ].
