PASADENA, Calif., Feb. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- VIASPACE Inc. (OTC:VSPC) (BULLETIN BOARD: VSPC) , a company commercializing proven technologies from NASA and the US Department of Defense, today announced that the company has made significant strides leveraging its 'SHINE' expert system technology licensed from Caltech to pursue major opportunities in the commercial, defense, and homeland security sectors. To penetrate the growing market for maritime container screening, port security, automated threat detection, real- time sensor fusion and embedded diagnostics/prognostics applications, VIASPACE Security is identifying and developing relationships with potential new customers, adding staff and resources to its SHINE-based development efforts, executing on its contract with L-3 Communications for the US Department of Homeland Security's Advanced Container Security Device project, and teaming with Raytheon Company's Network Centric Systems on security and surveillance applications. VIASPACE has an exclusive license from Caltech to commercialize SHINE technology for most major applications including container security, diagnostics/prognostics, sensor fusion and homeland defense. SHINE is a real-time inference engine and software platform originally developed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory for space flight operations, and is used in several NASA applications including the Mars Exploration Rover and Spacecraft Health Automatic Reasoning Pilot (SHARP) program. It recently received the prestigious NASA Space Act Award. Wholly owned subsidiary VIASPACE Security Inc. is leveraging the technology along with its own development efforts to deliver high performance, real-time inference and sensor data fusion-based technologies, products and services. Sensor fusion combines large volumes of data, observations, and inferences derived from multiple sources and sensors to generate reliable decision-support information in critical applications where speed, accuracy and ease of deployment are crucial. VIASPACE is actively pursuing new business for its SHINE-based technology solutions. The company is currently targeting potential customers in both the defense and private sector, responding to inquiries, and meeting with government agencies, defense contractors and systems integrators. The company is also adding key engineering staff and resources to ramp up its ability to meet the anticipated demand for SHINE-based products and applications. Dr. Carl Kukkonen, CEO of VIASPACE, commented: "SHINE can process over 200 million rules per second on desktop class computer processors. This real-time performance and an executable size small enough to be deployed on a chip enables an entirely new class of applications that up until now were considered to be prohibitively expensive and difficult. Based on what we believe is tremendous potential for market acceptance and the favorable response we have received to date, we are thrilled to be moving forward with the identification and development of commercial opportunities." About VIASPACE: Originally founded in 1998 with the objective of transforming proven space and defense technologies from NASA and the Department of Defense into hardware and software solutions that solve today's complex problems, VIASPACE benefits from important patent and software licenses from Caltech, which manages NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
