Abstract
A military weapon system consists of six major components; a weapon that impacts a target from the air, a video sensor/transmitter attached to the weapon, a tow line that connects the weapon and the video sensor/transmitter, a brake assembly, a remote receiver/recorder, and a transmission activation device. Following launch of the weapon by its air or ground based launch apparatus, the video sensor/transmitter is released from the weapon into the air stream surrounding the weapon and immediately moves aft due to aerodynamic drag forces. The tow line and brake assembly restrain the aft movement of the video sensor/transmitter causing it to achieve a position that is aft of and in trail behind the weapon. Immediately following weapon impact, a signal containing video imagery is transmitted to the remote receiver/recorder to enable post strike analysis of the weapon point-of-impact, weapon detonation, and initial target damage.
