Aerial Monitoring System (A.M.S.)

System Highlights

The A.M.S is based on super-light stabilized imaging payloads mounted on a small and easy to operate tethered helium aerostats (blimps) it is a very low cost and high efficient real time video image gathering sub–systems which  provides on line aerial picture of high quality video for daylight time and thermal imaging for night vision.

According to advanced C4I concepts A.M.S. architecture presents comprehensive standalone features for the local command providing an "independent eye in the air" it can be used in various applications:traffic control, coast and border control, fire fighting etc

 Backgrounds

Based on our  experience in the command control and security field we are proposing to provide the a.m.s to be implemented as a sub c4i architecture

The proposed flight platform of the A.M.S is a 30-feet tethered low-pressure helium aerostat, is an ideal tool for security "birds-eye" surveillance mission. It operates in low altitude of approximately 500-1000 feet (150-300 m´)

The crucial video information of the A.M.S can easily be distributed to all mobile and static command centers.

The system units are mobile and can easily be transported between venues according to operational needs.

System Description

The system includes the following components:                           
1. Helium platform balloon
2. Airborne electro optical payload
3. Airborne communication platform
4. Mobile docking station installed on a trolley
5. Control and monitoring ground station

Ground surveillance system (G.C.S.)

GCS is state of the art, universal unit designed to operate variety of aerial and ground platforms and is based on advanced real time software.

The primary function is to control & monitor air vehicle operation & its payload.other functions are: mission planning, pre-flight and post-flight maintenance procedures and more.

The GCS communicate with the air vehicle through a ground data terminal. it transmits commands to the air vehicle, and receives telemetry information plus real time video images. The ground control station has 2 screens – dedicated screen for video and another for the mission and it is right or left hand oriented.
The GCS is an integrated part in our casper uav systems and our extended aerostat system, but can also operate as a stand alone "off the shelf" product

Payloads

Our light weight stabilized payload family includes line of 0.8 kg 2 axes stabilized payloads, through our line of 3 axes stabilized payload (patented stabilization system) and up to 7 kg dual sensor payloads.our payloads are installed today on a wide variety of platforms - uav's, small airplanes, aerostats, masts, and observation vehicles.

Radar + E/O combo surveillance pole is the optimal concept for long range large area coverage for intelligence reconnaissance & surveillance system. some of the advantages of this system is as below:

• Effective round the clock favorable in all weather & environmental conditions
• Provides early warning & alerts for long range and in large area coverage
• Automatic detection and tracking of all relevant targets
• Highly reliable, cost effective & easy to operate

Operation Requirements:

• Effective 24h/7d/365d, all weather & environmental conditions.
• Effective for long range, large area coverage, providing early warning & alert.
• Automatic detection and tracking of all relevant targets (continuous "holding" of the area).
• Providing highly reliable, complete, accurate low false alarm rate, situation awareness picture.
• Easy to operate
• Reliable & cost effective

The Operational Concept:

• Optimal operation of each sensor (workload sharing, complementary coverage)
• Enhancing the relative advantages of each technology (radar, day/night e.o)
• Providing a complete, integrated situation awareness picture to the user (sensor fusion)
• Improve target data reliability and accuracy (data fusion).
• Reduce reaction time, improve operational effectiveness
  

Advantages:

• Cost effective: the integration is packaged-in
• Simple operator display and interface. quick training and mastering
• Ready to interface to encompassing systems
• Comes in 3 ranges: 300m, 1,300m, and 5 km
• Quick delivery time

Radar/Day-Camera/Night-Camera Combination Includes:

• Radar
• day ptz camera
• Night/infrared ptz camera, continuous zoom
• sensors data integration & control processor
• operator software on linked pc
• communication (fiber or wi-fi/microwave)
• all sensors on the same point – prevent alignment problems.
• autonomous, close loop operation – optimal activity.
• easy installation & orientation - already exists.
• common concept for fixed & mobile installation
• variety of sensors for long & short range applications.
