What Types of Payloads Can Be Used?
Aerostat payloads can range from sophisticated airborne early warning radar systems to VLF/LF communications, active or passive electronic warfare equipment, public emergency broadcasting systems, communications relay and remote control of long range UAVs.
TCOM's Systems Support a Wide Variety of Payloads:
TCOM has successfully integrated a multitude of different payloads on aerostats with various size and lift capabilities. In many cases, multiple payloads can be implemented simultaneously on a single aerostat.
The following payloads have been successfully deployed on TCOM aerostats:
- Surveillance radars of all sizes and capabilities
- Signal Intelligence (SIGINT) collection equipment
- Gyro-stabilized daylight, low-light level and infra-red video cameras
- Direct television broadcast and relay
- FM radio broadcast and relay
- VHF/UHF, Ground Control Intercept (GCI) and microwave communications
- Environmental monitoring equipment
In the process of selecting and matching various payloads to mission requirements and aerostat capabilities, TCOM has established partnerships with major payload suppliers.
These relationships enable us to offer the latest advancements in payload system technologies. |
