~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[1] Getting deployed rapidly inside a smart pod (Pod4Ξ) with a fighter to an offshore rig theater


~ a fighter is rapidly deployed from a carrier or a base to a remote demanding theater
~ the fighter payload includes two unmanned and autonomous helicopters (Ξ), each packed inside the smart pod (Pod4Ξ)
~ the smart Pod4Ξ protects the Ξ during the fighter takeoff, flight and landing (another pod might not get dropped)

[2] Receiving support by an autonomous base (Base4Ξ) deployed by an manned helicopter with specialists and networked mobile devices


~ the base station (Base4Ξ) and manned forces with mobile devices are deployed with a helicopter to the target theater
~ the autonomous Base4Ξ will support Ξ UAVs at the theater providing long-term network-centric operations
~ with its sophisticated computer system and refueling features the Base4Ξ will provide powerful shelter to Ξs for autonomous missions



~[Σ] ~[Ω] ~[Δ]!































































~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[3] Getting dropped by a fighter inside a Pod4Ξ


~ one Pod4Ξ is being dropped near a target and the command and control center is being informed via network
~ the fighter may loiter at the theater in case another Pod4Ξ needs to be dropped
~ by having each Ξ UAV inside a Pod4Ξ, the fighter can stay at higher and safer altitudes to drop one Ξ, which is capable to manover at lower altitudes



~[Σ] ~[Ω] ~[Δ]!































































~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[4] Hatching in the air and starting a network-centric mission autonomously


~ the Pod4Ξ opens its shell for the Ξ to hatch and the unmanned Ξ unfolds its blades and starts its engine - all this happens automatically
~ the autonomous Ξ starts hovering and flying, at the same time establishing connection via network to the fighter and the command &control center
~ the smart Pod4Ξ lands with its parachutes while the Ξ has already started its mission (in case the hatching is not needed, the Ξ lands safely on the ground)



~[Σ] ~[Ω] ~[Δ]!































































~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[5] Manouevring aggressively and being agile at low altitudes and tight places


~ loaded with the latest mission data, the unmanned Ξ helicopter autonomously heads towards the target area
~ embedded sensors, cameras, lasers, computers and navigation hardware and software support the Ξ during its mission
~ being an agile UAV helicopter and capable to aggressive and agile manovers the Ξ reaches the desired altitude and location

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[6] Dropping wireless sensors (Sensor4Ξ) to build wireless sensor networks around targets


~ a wireless smart sensor (Sensor4Ξ) is being dropped by the Ξ
~ connection between the Sensor4Ξ is established and the Ξ registers the location and time informing the network
~ a new Sensor4Ξ is being dropped, if reprogrammed in the mission data or ordered from the network or the Base4Ξ



~[Σ] ~[Ω] ~[Δ]!































































~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[7] Sensing undersea with smart bobs (Bob4Ξ)


~ for undersea sensing a Sensor4Ξ is being dropped with a smart bob Bob4Ξ
~ optical cable connects the Sensor4Ξ to the Bob4Ξ, which can both upload sensor data and download instructions to the Sensor4Ξ
~ sensed data gets uploaded from the Bob4Ξ to the agile Ξ helicopter flying at required altitudes



~[Σ] ~[Ω] ~[Δ]!































































~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[8] Sheltering at a base station Base4Ξ and getting refueled and updated by Base4Ξ for a new mission


~ the Base4Ξ analyzes sensor data downloaded from all Ξs, data collected from sensors around and data from sensors embedded inside the Base4Ξ
~ special operation and mobile forces communicate with Base4Ξs using Alpha, Beta, Lambda & Delta series mobile devices to get information at the theater
~ after refueling and updating its Ξs with the latest digital maps and mission data, the autonomous base station Base4Ξ sends its Ξs to new missions



~[Σ] ~[Ω] ~[Δ]!































































~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[9] Satellite systems as information brokers and navigation providers to remote theaters with unmanned and manned forces


~ instead of just pure data, filtered and processed sensor information and knowledge base gets uploaded via satellite network to command and control center
~ network sends new instructions, software and maps to the Base4Ξs at the theater to be used for new missions with updated Ξs
~ satellites support both manned and unmanned network devices and forces in communication and navigation at the remote and demanding theater
