    摘要: Particular embodiments include a non-dedicated, temporarily installed, airborne special mission payload mounting system which is mechanically interfaced to the Air Deployment System (ADS) rails of a host cargo aircraft. An Adaptive Mounting System (AMS) plate is placed over an ADS rail section and restrained in position. Once the AMS plate is secured, an articulated or fixed position strut can be attached to the AMS plate through the opened side doorway without removing the original door. A removable load transfer brace (LTB) can be coupled from the AMS plate inboard to the floor of the aircraft. The LTB is hinged to the AMS plate, and can be disconnected from the floor of the aircraft and rotated to a vertical position from the AMS plate.

    摘要: An imaging radar system for an aircraft includes four transmit antennas, connected to a central transmitter, and four receive antenna arrays for respectively receiving reflections of signals transmitted by the transmit antennas. A receiver circuit, associated with each antenna element of each receive antenna array, heterodynes the received signal to yield a resultant signal and combines the resultant signal with a reference signal to yield an interference grating signal. The grating signal of each receiver circuit is digitized and provided to a central processing unit that performs a spatial Fourier transform on the grating signals to determine angles of reflecting objects relative to each receive array.

    摘要: A passive load mitigation system for supporting transducers on a body moving through a fluid stream is described. According to the invention, a streamlined aerodynamic surface for supporting the transducers is attached to the body via a pivot axis. The axis supports the surface in a torsionally unrestrained manner in at least one rotational degree of freedom about the pivot axis. Therefore, as the body moves through the fluid stream, the surface remains substantially parallel to the plane of the stream. Aerodynamic stability is ensured by forming the surface with substantially trapezoidal or parallelogram shaped sidewalls and by mounting the surface on the pivot axis such that the surface's aerodynamic center is located downstream of the pivot axis. Flutter is prevented or substantially reduced by increasing the surface's bending stiffness or by incorporating ballast weights on a tip pod attached to a portion of the surface.
