Disclosed is a system for a 3-dimensional display that includes at least one eyepiece having first and second eyepiece sockets, having a first display contained in said first eyepiece socket associated with a first eye, two eye cameras mounted such that a first eye camera tracks eye reference points of said first eye and a second eye camera tracks reference points of a second eye, a processor for providing overall control of said at least one eyepiece; a second display; and a main processor; signals are transmitted between said main processor and said at least one eyepiece, wherein said two eye cameras track said reference points, said eyepiece transceiver transmits said reference points to said main processor via said main transceiver, said main processor generates image data based on said reference points and transmits said image data to said displays to produce a 3-dimensional image.

System and method for 3-dimensional display of image data

An airship deployment system comprises an airship of unique shape having laminar flow over this shape to enable low power propulsion, capable remote control, comprising an inflatable body; a propeller assembly for station keeping and repositioning said airship and capable of being folded into a compacted position and unfolded into an operational position; and a payload, comprising gas for inflating said inflatable body; and means for transferring data between said airship and a remote location; and a missile for carrying said airship in a compacted state to a predetermined location and altitude, and releasing said airship at said predetermined location and altitude. When said airship is released from said missile said inflatable body is inflated and said propeller assembly is unfolded into said operational position.

High altitude reconnaissance vehicle

The invention is directed to either a satellite or missile deployed to a high altitude location at a desired position above a target. Once at the proper position a drogue chute is deployed to slow reentry and then a high-altitude balloon or paraglider is deployed to maintain the invention above the target area. Once deployed, the invention utilizes onboard sensors to collect target information which is communicated to an over-the-horizon (from the target) receiver.
