(OTCBB:MRKL) (http://www.marklandtech.com), an integrated homeland security
company, is pleased to announce the company will perform a simulated test of
Markland's ACADA chemical detection system at the Homeland Security Conference
in Washington, DC to be held on March 30, 2004. Markland is scheduled to speak
and present with a broad spectrum of Homeland Security companies including Taser

Software Holdings Corporation, MDM Group, Inc. and Aethlon Medical.

Conference Details: http://domprep.com/conference/mar30.html
Tuesday, March 30, 2004, National Press Club,
Washington, DC 20045

The company has signed an international distribution agreement with Tradeways,
Ltd, to market and sell Markland's Shipboard ACADA chemical detection systems to
foreign militaries. Tradeways, Ltd, founded in 1974, is the principal worldwide
exporter of US Mil Spec Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical (NBC) Equipment, and
has fulfilled contracts for NBC products in more than 30 countries. Tradeways
provides a complete range of NBC products, as well as training and service.
Tradeways also provides in-country technical product briefings and consulting.

These new services are provided under the Service Technology Alliance Resources (STARS) program and include; maintenance and logistics support responsibility for hardware and software utilized by the Global Enrollment Center (GES) workstations and all computer equipment associated with the Dedicated Commuter Lanes (DCL) installed at these ports of entry. The company estimates this expanded effort will double the company's revenues from this contract and help position the company for possible future awards to be made under the US-VISIT program.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security launched the US-VISIT program in January 2004, and will award a significant contract during the third quarter of this year to one of three system integrators. US-VISIT is a new program to enhance the nation's security while facilitating legitimate travel and trade through US borders. New entry screening procedures took effect for most foreign visitors with non-immigrant visas. The system utilizes biometrics, which are physical characteristics unique to each individual, to verify identity. Biometric technologies are the basis of an extensive array of highly secure identification and personal verification solutions.

Congress has mandated that an automated entry-exit program be implemented at the 50 busiest land ports of entry by December 31, 2004, and at all land ports by December 31, 2005. A Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued in November 2003 to engage the private sector to help the US-VISIT program develop the optimum solutions for entry and exit processing. It is estimated that the prime contract award for this work will be made in June 2004. Congress has appropriated $710 million for the first two years of the program. The three systems integrator finalists for this award are CSC, Lockheed, and Accenture.

The company believes it is well positioned to receive some portion of this future work via subcontract awards that it anticipates will occur upon US-VISIT selection of prime contractors, which would occur as early as June 2004.

Markland CEO Robert Tarini stated, "We are pleased to be positioning ourselves to participate in a subcontractor role in the areas of logistics support for future US VISIT activities at land border crossings. These activities will take on a fast and furious pace as the Congress mandates that between contract award date in June 2004 and calendar year end of 2004, fifty new installations of entry/exit control will be installed at the major land ports of entry in the United States. This is an important new potential business opportunity, which could potentially add significant re-occurring revenues for the company."

Markland Awarded Patent for New Gas Plasma Antenna Technology Designed for Homeland Security and Military Applications
Wednesday April 14, 7:00 am ET
Plasma Antenna has potential to Revolutionalize Antenna Technology

RIDGEFIELD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 14, 2004-- Markland Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: MRKL- http://www.marklandtech.com), an integrated homeland security company, announced today that its gas plasma research team has been awarded US patent # 6,710,746 for a gas plasma antenna element demonstrating re-configurable length. A gas-plasma antenna could revolutionize antenna technology due to its unique benefits over traditional antennas. A plasma antenna operates with greater stealth, has the ability to dynamically transmit/receive multiple frequencies, and is extremely portable.
The company intends to direct its research toward applications for Military and Homeland Security. This includes applications such as secure broadband wireless communications and stealth radar. The development of this technology has been funded to date through Small Business Innovative Research grants from the US Navy and Army.

The US patent awarded to Markland relates to plasma antennas having re-configurable length, beamwidth, and bandwidth. Traditionally, antennas have been defined as metallic devices for radiating or receiving radio waves, or as a conducting wire, which is sized to emit radiation at one or more selected frequencies. As a result, the paradigm for antenna design has heretofore been focused on antenna geometry and physical dimensions. Markland's innovative gas plasma antenna patent portfolio changes the paradigm, as it is now possible to design antennas which have greater flexibility and security than conventional antennas.

Markland CEO Robert Tarini stated, "We anticipate that our Gas Plasma Antenna (GPA) intellectual property portfolio will provide a revolutionary new set of advanced capabilities to the Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security as they endeavor to deal with an ever changing landscape of challenges. Our plan for the GPA technology is to transition it from its present stage of development, where we have multiple active government funded contracts for advanced research programs, to the next stage, where we hope to be awarded product development contracts to commercialize the technology."
