[001] FB4M Design ~ Military Base: Size
FB base is a medium size unmanned base:
~ FB has to be able to offer shelter to several FC helicopters
~ It has to provide refuelling to helicopters
~ It provides many resources; additional sensors for helicopters, communication,computer...
catch ~[content] ~[next]!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[002] FB4M Design ~ Military Base: Camera
Camera:
~ FB uses it's own camera to sensor it's surrounding.
~ Camera has to tilt and rotate so that FB can protect itself and warn FC helicopters.
~ FB may also use camera to record events such as FB helicopter approaching the base

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[003] FB4M Design ~ Military Base: Sensors
FB has it's own sensors:
~ FB has to be able to protect itself.
~ FC helicopters also need to know whether it is safe to come to the base
~ FB can also use sensors to warn FC helicopter, for example about coming sand storm
Links:
~ Unmanned Underwater Vehicles

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[004] FB4M Design ~ Military Base: Fuel capasity
FB base has enough fuel capasity for several helicopters:
~ A lot of fuel is needed to support several helicopter's mission from the base
~ Fuel amount needed depends on missions and may vary
~ However, FB is typically deployed rapidly to remote targets where only the FB base can provide refuelling

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[007] FB4M Design ~ Military Base: Deployability
Deployability:
~ If a lot of fuel is required for FB base, fighters can not deploy FB base
~ In that case FB base must be dropped from manned helicopter or bomber
catch ~[content] ~[previous] ~[next]!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[008] FB4M ~ Military Base: Swarf
Swarf:
~ The whole system and platform can be deployed rapidly to target area:
~ 1...k FB bases, one can act as backup base
~ 1...m FC helicopters, several helicopters may use the same FB base
~ 1...n FS sensors dropped by FC helicopters and loaded into FB bases
catch ~[content] ~[previous] ~[next]!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[009] FB4M ~ Military Base: Machine Room
Machine Room:
~ FB base is essential unit in the whole system where FC helicopters are using it for refuelling,
~ where FC helicopters may use it as a shelter. It is FB base, which processes the sensor data
~ helocopters collect before sending filtered and analyzed surveillance data to command and control center
~ A lot of computer power is needed in FB base for data processing and for communication.
catch ~[content] ~[previous] ~[next]!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[010] FB4M ~ Military Base: Shelter
Shelter:
~ FB base provides shelter to FC helicopters if required, for example:
Enemy threat
Sand storm coming
Heavy rain
No need to patrol
Command to suspend mission from Command and control center
New sensors are to be sent to FB base and FB has to wait
Service is needed
catch ~[content] ~[previous] ~[next]!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[011] FB4M ~ Military Base: Erasing
Erasing FB Base:
~ Command and control center may send erase message.
~ Enemy detects FB base
~ Manned air vehicle such as fighter sends erase command after detecting enemies near FB base
catch ~[content] ~[previous] ~[next]!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[012] FB4M ~ Military Base: Automatic and unmanned refuelling
Automatic and unmanned refuelling:
~ Automatic and unmanned refuelling is not mandatory feature.
~ FB base can be manned operated by SOF, carrier staff or other base personnel
~ However, focus has been from the beginning to provide automatic and unmanned refuelling.
catch ~[content] ~[previous] ~[next]!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[013] FB4M ~ Military Base: Loitoring
Loitoring:
~ Due to refuelling and resource suppor (sensors,software updates...)
~ FC helicopters are able to loitors long periods in target area.
~ When required, FC helicopters can drop new sensors.
catch ~[content] ~[previous] ~[next]!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[014] FB4M ~ Military Base: Relocating
Relocating:
~ FB base stays where it is dropped or where it is delivered by SOH
~ FC helicopters loitering around FB base must return to FB base
catch ~[content] ~[previous] ~[next]!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[015] FB4M ~ Military Base: Delivering New Fuel to Station
Delivering New Fuel to Station:
~ by manned helicopter or aircraft
~ by SOF
~ by allies or own troops
Note:
~ FC helicopters report to FB base their fuel needs
~ FB base sends fuel order to command and control center
catch ~[content] ~[previous] ~[next]!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[016] FB4M ~ Military Base: 24/7
24/7 service if required:
~ It depends on mission and circumstances and events during mission, when FB base is operating.
~ There may be times that no helicopter flight are needed or mission is halted for a while.
~ FB helicopter do not fly night time, however FB may have to communicate with command and control center.
Notes:
~ by minimizing and optimizing activities FB base keeps itself as invisible as possible
~ power saving is essential to support surveillance activities for longer periods
catch ~[content] ~[previous] ~[next]!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[017] FB4M ~ Military Base: Service
Service:
~ by SOF
~ by allies
~ by a service company
Notes:
~ FB base has it's own self diagnostics and it is capable to order help if needed
catch ~[content] ~[previous] ~[next]!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[018] FB4M ~ Military Base: Sensors run out
Sensors run out:
~ FC helicopters keep FB base updated about sensor status and need
~ FB base orders new sensors from command and control center
Note:
~ new sensors may be needed both to sensor target area and to sensor FB base surrounding
catch ~[content] ~[previous] ~[next]!

[019] FB4M Design ~ Military Base: Forked Tailed Airplanes
Forked Tailed Airplanes:
