BlueSky Mast Expands Portfolio of Portable Video and Surveillance Systems for Military Applications

BlueSky Mast Inc, a manufacturer of one-man portable mast systems, has recently been tasked by the US Military of providing a versatile, ultra-mobile platform for new next generation video and surveillance applications for programs such as BETSS-C (Base Expeditionary Targeting and Surveillance Sensors-Combined) and RAID (Rapid Aerostat Initial Deployment).

Odessa, FL, October 30, 2009 --(PR.com)-- The traditional RAID tower stands 107 Feet tall and is equipped with a wide range of electro-optical/infrared sensors and radar that allow it to view and monitor the combat area for insurgent activities. While this tower still remains the central element in the design, smaller target areas and valuable assets still need to be monitored and this is where the BlueSky Mast System comes into play.

“Customer requirements are driving our product development”, says Scott Vanover of BlueSky Mast. Most mobile surveillance systems available to the military require mechanized vehicles for transportation, limiting the scope for rapid deployment in critical areas. Due to factors such as difficult terrain, remote location, and limited personnel availability, traditional mobile video surveillance systems can sometimes not be deployed effectively.

With its small footprint, it can be easily transported to the required location and set up in minutes to monitor a fixed asset or blind spot in the combat area. The versatility of the mast allows it to support not only a wide range of video and surveillance devices such as LRTIs (Long Rang Thermal Imager), MRTIs (Medium Range Thermal Imager) and stationary cameras mounted in Pelco Housings, but it also can support point to point data links and standard ground tactical antennas on the same mast at the same time giving it a distinct advantage over its traditional antenna mast counterparts.
