Imaging apparatus on a host platform having an external surface, the external surface comprising a first surface facing a first direction and a second surface facing a second direction, the second direction being different to the first, the apparatus comprising a first and second plurality of single pixel detectors () distributed about said external surface such that the first plurality of single pixel detectors are distributed over the first surface and the second plurality of single pixel detectors are distributed over the second surface, each single pixel detector being configured to receive radiation reflected by an object or region of interest () and generate two-dimensional image data representative thereof, the apparatus further comprising an image processing module () for receiving said two-dimensional image data from each of a plurality of single pixel detectors () and reconstructing a three-dimensional image of said object or region of interest () using a ghost imaging algorithm.

An aircraft-side aircraft data retrieval system and method, comprising: a data storage device () located in an aircraft () adapted to, during a flight, store data acquired during the flight; a transmission element (), for example a dielectric filled hole or a coaxial transmission line assembly, in an external panel () of the aircraft (); and wireless apparatus () adapted to wirelessly transmit, after the aircraft () has landed, the stored data to a ground-side data retrieval system () via the transmission element ().

Data retrieval system in an aircraft with data stored during a flight and wirelessly transmitted to a ground system after landing using a transmission element in an external panel of an avionic bay

An aircraft-side aircraft data retrieval system and method, comprising: a data storage device () located in a first location, for example a bay (), in a aircraft () adapted to, during a flight, store data acquired during the flight; and wireless apparatus () comprising an antenna (), at least the antenna () being located in a second location, for example an undercarriage bay, in the aircraft () that is different to the first location, the wireless apparatus () adapted to wirelessly transmit, after landing, the stored data to a ground-side data retrieval system (); the second location () being a location that can have a closed or open configuration and which will be in the closed configuration for at least a majority of the flight and in the open configuration, for a purpose other than retrieving the stored data, after the aircraft () has landed.
