Abstract
An inflatable tower system for establishing an elevated observation platform includes an elongated, inflatable cloth envelope having first and second ends. A blower is provided to introduce air into the cloth envelope at the first envelope end and an observation device, such as a video camera, is mounted on the envelope at the second envelope end. A tension line is attached to the envelope near the second envelope end and disposed in the inflation volume created by the envelope. The tension line exits the envelope near the envelope's first end and is attached to a tension control mechanism to allow the envelope to be inflated from a compact, spiral shape. With this compact shape, the deployment apparatus, including the deflated envelope, fits within and can be deployed from the bed of a pickup truck.
