AIRCRAFT BASED SENSING, DETECTION, TARGETING, COMMUNICATIONS AND RESPONSE APPARATUS

摘要

The system and apparatus of this invention provides for a rapidly loaded, palletized, non-dedicated fixed or rotary wing aircraft based (96), manned observation, sensor launch system, with self-powered sensing and targeting pod, multi-frequency antenna array, and with C4I analysis and control capabilities. The system and apparatus of the present invention are generally comprised of a removable pallet assembly (42) adapted for loading into, and mounting to the floor of, the interior of the aircraft (96); a seating assembly (46) moveably mounted to the pallet assembly (42) and adapted to fit into an opening in the aircraft upon removal of the aircraft side door, the integrated door assembly (4.0) having a door frame defining a periphery; at least one remote sensing pod (1.0) retractably attached to the door frame adapted for deployment from the interior of the aircraft to the exterior of the aircraft.
