Airborne delivered video surveillance system
First Claim
1. An airborne delivered surveillance system for covertly providing real-time mode information from a targeted site of interest to a remote location, said system comprising:
- a) a remote surveillance assembly, said assembly having 1) a hollow upper pipe for housing equipment, said upper pipe having a proximal and a distal end and being formed of a very heavy, substantially dense and rugged material, said upper pipe having surveillance means for obtaining reconnaissance data, power supply means, a first impact resistance means, and cage means for containing said surveillance means and said power supply; and
2) a hollow lower pipe, said lower pipe made of a very heavy and rugged material, said lower pipe further having a second impact resistance means and a substantially dense and heavy nose cone, said nose cone being formed with such a mass and density so as to be of a weight substantially exceeding that of the upper pipe, including the housed equipment;
said lower pipe being adapted to matingly receive said upper pipe, said assembly further having temporary fastening means for matingly coupling said pipes; and
b) remote control means, located at a remote location from said surveillence assembly, for communicating with said surveillance means.

Abstract
The present invention features a covert surveillance system employing airborne delivery assets for obtaining photographic information. Exterior, high-resolution video surveillance of towns, military facilities, factories, hideouts and other areas of interest are made possible with real-time mode monitoring. The system comprises a compact surveillance assembly that may be embellished with a variety of camouflage schemes to mesh with the natural environment of deployment. The surveillance assembly is made from a sufficiently high-density material and is equipped with a penetrating nose cone configured for embedding into the earth'"'"'s surface. The assembly comprises impact shock absorption means, camera means, transmitter/receiver means, a control unit and on-site power means. After being made airborne, the surveillance assemblies may be deployed to target sites by either remote guidance means (e.g., laser and GPS)
