The space or airborne radiometric sensor (optional simulation).
Sources include land based sensors, airborne sensors and satellite sensors.
The material may be useful in sound reproduction (although it cannot flap fast enough yet for high frequencies) or, more intriguingly, as a kind of airborne sensor.
General Atomics develops systems ranging from the nuclear fuel cycle to remotely operated surveillance aircraft, airborne sensors, and advanced electric, electronic, wireless and laser technologies.
The upgraded SM-3, known as the SM-3 Block 1B, will be coupled with airborne sensors that will expand the covered area threefold, Cartwright said.
PESAs quickly became widespread on ships and large fixed emplacements in the 1960s, followed by airborne sensors as the electronics shrank.
The post-Vietnam era saw the introduction of airborne infra-red sensors.
Mr. Thistlethwaite announced at the time that he had received a $10 million Pentagon contract to test and evaluate several different airborne sensors, according to a news release.
Currently, most lightning data provided in real-time is from terrestrial sources, specifically, networks of ground-based sensors, although airborne sensors are also in operation.
Intended to evaluate the feasibility of using airborne optical sensors to detect and track hostile intercontinental ballistic missiles, the modified aircraft first flew on August 21, 1987.
