ABSTRACT:
The invention enables the routine remote deployment of multi-function sensors from unmanned air ground platforms, such that a special assembly containing one sensor can be mounted and operated by remote control. The invention includes a circular frame with attached legs to grip the sensor during transport and recovery. The legs are stabilized (locked open or shut) by means of a threaded metal band/wire being retracted by means of a gear assembly pulling the threaded band and removing all slack. The legs' rotating point (fulcrum) is located between the circular frame and the top of the leg. The metal band is located nearer to the bottom of the legs and when it (band) is tightened, the legs are squeezed together sufficiently enough to grip the sensor inside their perimeter.
