Joint Land Attack Cruise Missile Defense Elevated Netted Sensor System (JLENS)
ثبت نشده
چکیده
tethered aerostat balloons that operate at altitudes up to 10,000 feet above mean sea level. • A 180,000-pound mobile mooring station and tether system is used to launch, recover, and secure each aerostat system. The aerostat tether system provides radar control and data transfer links to supporting ground control and data processing stations. JLENS is deployable to pre-planned operational sites that have been prepared to support mobile mooring station operations. Five days are required to transition between fully operational status and a transportable configuration. Operators control the radar, process data, and transmit radar track information from mobile communication and control stations co-located with the mobile mooring stations. A mobile power generation and distribution system and associated ground equipment support each JLENS orbit.
