An electro-optical inspection device for making optical observations of a tellite in space having a stabilized matrix camera with an image tube from which a readout is taken and transmitted through electromagnetic transmitting means to a ground receiving station whenever the camera is directed toward, and at a predetermined distance from, a satellite, as determined by a proximity switching means, to activate the camera and transmitting means for reconstruction of the optical observation at the ground receiving station.

Satellite inspection system using hovering-type interceptors

A system for battlefield and enemy support area surveillance. An air-drop unit monitors and records on tape enemy activity, and plays back and transmits the monitored data at high speed when interrogated by a coded signal from friendly aircraft.

Remote sensing device

A protection device for a pulsed radar system which generates a random pu train whose pulse spacing is kept between a predetermined maximum and minimum. A jitter coder alters the periodic timing of the clock pulses fed to the radar modulation circuit by means of a jitter code generated by a jitter code generator. The reflected radar signals are decoded in a decoding circuit using the jitter code generated by the jitter code generator.
