Rapid Deployment System, V2.4.1D
The Silent Sentry™ Rapid Deployment System is the transportable member of the product family, designed for real-time tracking, recording and assessment of broadcast signal data. The ruggedized system can be moved and made operational quickly for use in remote or temporary locations. This system is ideal for military, scientific and other applications where surveillance is required for limited periods and where redeployment is frequent.
The Rapid Deployment System
Key Benefits
- Robust and ruggedized construction,
- Real-time two dimensional tracking and visualization of airborne objects,
