System and method for reducing the probability of detection of a communication and sensor mast
First Claim
1. A system for a Line of Sight type communication and sensor mast, the system comprising a mast having an upper portion extending upwardly relatively relative to the ground, and a lower portion closer to the ground than the upper portion, wherein the mast at the upper portion is equipped with at least a communication or sensor element, wherein the mast is equipped with an actuator, and wherein the actuator, based on calculated instructions, is configured to alter the elevation above ground of the upper portion of the mast so as to achieve a desired signal quality with the upper portion of the mast at a lowest possible elevation to reduce the probability of detection of the mast.

Abstract
A system and method are for reducing the probability of detection of a Line of Sight type communication and sensor mast. The mast has an upper portion extending upwardly relatively the ground, and a lower portion closer to the ground than the upper portion. The mast at the upper portion is equipped with at least a communication or sensor element. The mast is equipped with an actuator that, based on calculated instructions, is designed to alter the elevation above ground of the mast upper portion so as to achieve an acceptable signal quality with the upper portion of the mast at the lowest possible elevation.
