[1] A fighter approaching oil field with two yourDragonXi(Ξ) unmanned helicopters, each inside a smart pod (Pod4Ξ)


~ a fighter has been rapidly deployed from a base or a carrier due a terrorist attack to an oil field discovered by a satellite
~ the fighter payload includes two unmanned and autonomous helicopters (Ξ), each packed inside the smart pod (Pod4Ξ)
~ the smart Pod4Ξ protects the Ξ during the flight and allows the fighter to drop a pod at higher and safer altitude



~[Σ] ~[Δ]!































































~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[2] Getting dropped by a fighter inside a Pod4Ξ


~ one Pod4Ξ is being dropped near a target and the command and control center is being informed via network
~ the fighter may loiter at the theater in case another Pod4Ξ needs to be dropped
~ by having each Ξ UAV inside a Pod4Ξ, the fighter can stay at higher and safer altitudes to drop one Ξ, which is capable to manovre at lower altitudes



~[Σ] ~[Ω] ~[Δ]!































































~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[3] Diving down inside a Pod4Ξ before the parachute gets opened


~ the fighter has dropped one PodΞ staying at higher and safer altitude
~ the smart PodΞ measures the altitude, speed and timing for hatching
~ the parachute gets opened while Ξ is still inside PodΞ



~[Σ] ~[Ω] ~[Δ]!































































~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[4] Hatching in the air and starting a network-centric mission autonomously


~ the Pod4Ξ opens its shell for the Ξ to hatch and the unmanned Ξ unfolds its blades and starts its engine - all this happens automatically
~ the autonomous Ξ starts hovering and flying, at the same time establishing connection via network to the fighter and the command &control center
~ the smart Pod4Ξ lands with its parachutes while the Ξ has already started its mission (in case the hatching is not needed, the Ξ lands safely on the ground)



~[Σ] ~[Ω] ~[Δ]!































































~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[5] Manovring at low altitudes along oil pipelines


~ loaded with the latest mission data, the unmanned Ξ helicopter has autonomously reached the pipeline
~ embedded sensors, cameras, lasers, computers and navigation hardware and software support the Ξ during its mission
~ being an agile UAV helicopter and capable to aggressive and agile manouvers the Ξ flies at low altitudes



~[Σ] ~[Ω] ~[Δ]!































































~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[6] Dropping wireless sensors (Sensor4Ξ) beside oil the oil pipeline


~ a wireless smart sensor (Sensor4Ξ) is being dropped by the Ξ
~ connection between the Sensor4Ξ is established and the Ξ registers the location and time informing the network
~ a new Sensor4Ξ is being dropped, if reprogrammed in the mission data or ordered from the network or the Base4Ξ



~[Σ] ~[Ω] ~[Δ]!































































~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[7] Ad-hoc wireless Sensor4Ξ sensing leakages and monitoring hostile activities near an oil pipeline


~ each wireless Sensor4Ξ is capable to sense on the ground
~ the ad-hoc Sensor4Ξ sensor may also build its own wireless network, for example around a pump station
~ small & smart Sensor4Ξ monitor oil resources and provide valuable data from oil field, which Ξ uploads to be downloaded to Base4Ξ for further analysis



~[Σ] ~[Ω] ~[Δ]!































































~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[8] Heading towards its base Ξ flies to get refueled and updated for a new mission at its BaseΞ


~ an autonomous base (Base4Ξ) may be provided for Ξs for refueling, updating and sheltering
~ if there is no Base4Ξ available, Ξ can hide or use a manned base such as a pump station
~ being an agile UAV helicopter Ξ can stay invisible while using its embedded cameras and sensors and networking with manned forces



~[Σ] ~[Ω] ~[Δ]!































































~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[9] Waiting for a Ξ helicopter to land to get sheltered inside the Base4Ξ


~ one autonomous station Base4Ξ is capable to shelter, refuel and manage several Ξs
~ Base4Ξ opens its launch pad only for the Ξs it will manage
~ it is the Base4Ξ, which has the computer prosessing power to filter and analyze sensor data to meaningful information right at the theater
