ABSTRACT:
A stable heli-borne vector platform capable of accepting a range of different sensors or instruments, particularly, but not exclusively, for the mapping and exploration of mountainous regions is described. The platform enables the arrangement of the sensors in three orthogonal directions, thus allowing the restitution of the resultant vector. The geographical referencing is provided by the use of a differential GPS receiver, whose antenna is installed on the main body of the platform. This platform distinguishes itself from its predecessors through the use of a lateral pulling axis, the use of a heavy weight placed underneath the main body, and by a perfectly symmetrical geometry in the direction of pull, thus ensuring perfect in-flight balance and stability.
