  2. CONOPS

  3. Major Design Constraints and Considerations • No aircraft modification • C-130 minimal mission interference • C4ISR – Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance • Multi-mission flexibility (Counter Drug, Environmental Impact Assessment, Counter Terrorism, HLS, Resource Surveys, Environmental Surveys) • GOTS and COTS • Ground-to-air deployment • (< 2 hours)

  4. Major Design Constraints and Considerations – cont. • Upgrade flexibility • In-flight deployable • Adequate space for various sensor configuration • Standardized mounting/ connection of systems • Power usage supplied within limits of C-130 • Platform Stability

  5. Standardized C-130 Pallet

  6. C-130 Fuselage Operator Station Sensor Platform

  7. Sensor Platform

  8. Sensor Platform

  9. Sensor Platform Sensor Platform Rail System Major Components • Linear Actuator (manual and automatic control) • Rotational Gear Motor (manual and automatic control) • Mechanical Arm/Pod System • Proximity Sensors (linear and rotational control)

  10. Sensor Platform Assembly

  11. Loading Sensor Pallet Securing Sensor Pallet

  12. Deployment Process • Linear Translation (18 inches) - 20 seconds • Rotational Movement (237°) - 15 seconds • Linear Retraction (12 inches) - 15 seconds • Complete Deployment - < 60 seconds

  13. Deployment Process Mechanical Arm and Pod – Incremental Articulation

  14. Deployment Process Leaving Stowed Position Closing Deployed Position -

  15. Mechanical Arm and Pod FEA Analysis • Restraints set along shaft supports • Forces applied simulating drag • Material type/thickness selection

  16. Operator Station

  17. Operator Station

  18. Operator Station Loading Operator Station Operator Station in Cargo-Hold

  19. Operator Station Components • 2 computer stations • 3 electronic racks • Climate control (Fan and vent unit, dehumidifier) • Communication panels • Power rectification • Direct or indirect lighting • 2 operator seats, 1 observer seat • 2 operator doors • Slingable/Stackable box

  20. Operator Station Powered Operator Station Controls

  21. Operator Station Proposed Capabilities • Sensor operation/control • Data acquisition/interpretation • Data storage • Direct ground/ aircraft/ satellite communication • Converter for power supply • C4ISR – Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance

  22. Operator Station Power Connection Sensor Connection

  23. Operator Station Power Controller (rack mounted)

  24. Sensor Pallet Electrical Layout

  25. C-130 Power Distribution

  26. C-130 Power Distribution Close-up: Power Distribution

  27. Sensor Pallet Control

  28. Sensor Pallet Control Pendant

  29. GPS Communication

  30. Aerodynamic Test

  31. Aerodynamic Test Pressure rake test • Air Test conducted on 02/04/2004 based on developed test matrix • Currently reducing data • Will compare data with that of simulation

  32. Year Two

  33. Proposed Possible Tasks • Evaluation & Certification – Standardizing the system • System Modification – Enhance support capabilities • Sealing Cargo Hold – Operate above 10,000 feet

  34. As of 02/24/2004
