Ladies and Gentlemen:

         We are furnishing this opinion of counsel to Markland Technologies,
Inc., a Florida corporation (the "Company"), for filing as Exhibit 5.1 to the
Registration Statement on Form SB-2, File No. 333-115395 (the "Registration
Statement") filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on May 11, 2004, and amended on
June 17, 2004, relating to the sale of 31,156,015 shares of the common stock,
$.0001 par value per share (the "Shares"), of the Company.

         In arriving at the opinions expressed below, we have examined and
relied on the following documents: (a) the Articles of Incorporation of the
Company, as amended; (b) the Bylaws of the Company; (c) the Registration
Statement; and (d) the records of meetings and consents of the Board of
Directors and stockholders of the Company provided to us by the Company. In
addition, we have examined and relied on the originals or copies certified or
otherwise identified to our satisfaction of all such corporate records of the
Company and such other instruments and other certificates of public officials,
officers and representatives of the Company and such other persons, and we have
made such investigations of law, as we have deemed appropriate as a basis for
the opinions expressed below.

         Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications set forth
herein, we are of the opinion that when the Registration Statement shall have
become effective, (a) with respect to those Shares that are currently
outstanding, when sold, they will be validly and legally issued, fully paid and
nonassessable, and (b) with respect to those Shares that have not yet been
issued, when such shares are issued and sold, they will be validly and legally
issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

         We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement.

         This opinion is being delivered and is intended for use solely in
regard to the transactions contemplated by the Registration Statement and may
not be used, circulated, quoted in whole or in part or otherwise referred to for
any purpose without our prior written consent and may not be relied upon by any
person or entity other than the Company, its successors and assigns. This
opinion is based upon our knowledge of law and facts as of its date. We assume
no duty to communicate to you with respect to any matter which comes to our
attention hereafter.


                                             Very truly yours,

                                             FOLEY HOAG LLP
