Deployable emergency alert system
First Claim
1. An emergency alert system comprising:
- a deployable alert unit having a housing;
a transceiver secured within said housing;
an activatable alert input means electrically connected to said transceiver; and
a location identification means to transmit the location of the deployable alert unit, said location identification means secured within said housing and electrically connected to said transceiver; and
an alert output means to alert users of an alert condition, whereby when said alert input means is activated, said transceiver sends a signal to an alert output means.

Abstract
A temporarily deployable and re-deployable alert unit and system. The unit able to automatically detect self-diagnostic and alert conditions. Also alert conditions can be manually entered. The condition is transmitted to a remote station. Alert conditions also turn on alarms and lights locally, i.e. on the unit. A dispersed sensor can be deployed near the unit to also detect alert conditions, and transmit this information to the deployable alert unit for local annunciation and transmission to the remote station. The system also incorporates software for use with the remote station. Different transceiver configurations allow for different transmission of data, (1) land data for data communication via land-based antennas; (2) land voice enabled for voice and data communication via land-based antennas; (3) satellite data for data communication via space satellites; and (4) satellite voice enabled for voice communication via space satellites.
