Aerostat systems are typically configured with a radar and/or electro-optical sensor to provide persistent, low-cost, wide-area survieillance. Additional payloads carried by aerostats can include communications suites and other surveillance assets. Aerostat systems operate either as stand-alone sentries or as fully integrated nodes in C4I networks.
This is a short performance by Tania Pierce from our Aerostat over Bryant Park in NYC. It was shot for CBS in December 2008 & sponsered by the Canadian Tourism Commission.
