POINT ROBERTS, Wash., DELTA, B.C., August 16, 2006 – www.HomelandDefenseStocks.com (HDS), and www.BorderandPortSecurity.com (BPS), global investor and industry news portals for the homeland defense and security sector, announces Innova Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: IVHG) as a new featured company. Innova Holdings has a deep robotics technology portfolio that has enabled them, through their subsidiaries, to target a variety of segments within the security arena to include the military, homeland security as well as the first responder and law enforcement markets such as fire, police and sheriffs' departments.

The use of robotics for homeland security and defense continues to grow as innovative technology has improved the functionality and viability of Unmanned Robotic Vehicles (URV) for search and rescue efforts, surveillance, explosives countermeasures and fire detection, etc. Recent validation for the Company’s products and focus was realized through the acceptance, by former United States Attorney General John Ashcroft, to become Chairman of the Company's Board of Advisors. In addition, Innova Holdings has retained The Ashcroft Group, LLC to assist in building strategic relationships within the military, homeland security, first responder markets as well as the intelligence community.

Innova Holdings, through its subsidiaries Innova Robotics, Robotic Workspace Technologies and Coroware, continues to develop technology and applications for unmanned vehicles that utilize robotic devices to improve functionality. Robotic Workspace Technologies (RWT™) recently launched its third generation, high-performance open architecture PC robotic control system. The Universal Robot Controller 3™ (URC3™) handles physical / robot control over the operations of the robotic device and has web-enabled communication capability and Ethernet connectivity that permits remote diagnostics and monitoring, data collection and distribution. Innova Holdings has been awarded three pioneer patents by the USPTO for its control technology. In addition, Innova Holdings recently announced a multiple unit order for the URC3™ from a custom fabricator of parts for the trucking industry.

RWT has also developed control system software called RobotScript®, a universal robot programming language based on Microsoft's .NET Framework that provides a natural language programming environment that is intuitive, and easy to use, according to the Company.

Innova Holding’s Coroware subsidiary is a robotics integrator that develops mobile service robotics and Web-service application framework solutions in cooperation with Microsoft Corp. Innova Holdings plans to expand its ability to deliver robotic solutions, addressing the growing need for mobile service automated systems, by integrating Innova Holdings' robotics arm and patented controller systems with CoroWare's software development, systems integration and robotics testing capabilities.

Innova Robotics, an Innova Holdings company, has the exclusive worldwide rights to market and sell a full line of Mesa Robotics unmanned ground vehicles in all markets. Mesa’s unmanned robotic ground vehicles Matilda and Marv, recently participated and performed well according to the Company, in the Response Robot Evaluation Exercise conducted by The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

In addition, key strategic development relationships with Embry Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) and the University of South Florida (USF) have been established, which the Company plans to capitalize upon to further accelerate and develop the use of Unmanned Robotic Vehicles in military and commercial applications.
