Pinpoint precise aerial images can be obtained from several thousand feet with Goodrich's DB110 Electro-Optical Airborne Reconnaissance System.
The camera is enclosed in a 19ft (6m) pod mounted on the underside of an aircraft. Images are fed in real time into a ground station, allowing users to make an accurate analysis of the situation on the ground over which the aircraft is flying, so important decisions can be made quickly.
The camera itself can be easily directed via receiver units situated within the pod to focus in on a particular area. On the ground, the images can be downloaded anywhere meaning that the DB110 package is very mobile.
Excellent
"The long range clarity of the images produced by the DB110 is excellent," says William Walthall, vice-president, Customer Relations. "The pictures that are taken from thousands of feet are as clear as the close-up shots you would get with your own camera."
The Royal Air Force has been using the DB110 for almost a year and will be helping to demonstrate its capability during the show.
RAF aircraft will be relaying aerial images of the site when they do daily flyovers.
These images can be viewed on the Goodrich stand. (Hall 4, F8).
