The RAMIS is the latest King Air 350ER-based ISR solution to be offered onto the international market Source: Boeing
חברות בואינג ובייצקרפט הציגו בתערוכה בפרנבורו את הדגם האחרון של מטוסי ה-ISR שמתבסס על ה-King Air 350
המטוס מיוצר ע"י חברת בייצכרפט,ואילו החליפה האלקטרונית מיוצרת ע"י בואינג. המטוס נקרא:
Reconfigurable Airborne Multi-Intelligence System-RAMIS
חליפת האלקטרוניקה הינה מודולרית ומאפשרת למטוס לבצע מספר רב של משימות שונות, להבדיל משאר מטוסי ה-King Air-350 שמיועדים למשימה אחת בלבד.
כמה מילים מאחד המפתחים של המטוס:
"There are five things you have to think about when building an ISR [intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance] aircraft. These are: What is it that I am trying to collect data on (is it a truck, person, ship, or command post); What does this target do that differentiates itself from the background and allows me to find it, and what data am I trying to collect on that target; What is the terrain - mountainous (a radar won't work, so you need a sensor that looks directly down) or flat lowlands (where radar or wide-area surveillance [WAS] detection systems do work); What is the vegetation - is the target in the open or under a triple jungle canopy (which requires [Light Detection And Ranging] LIDAR or foliage-penetration radar); and how big is the search area - is it a city or the Pacific Ocean?"
"Modularity and reconfigurability of systems and sensors is a key feature of RAMIS. You can fly a different sortie against a different target in the morning and evening, and change the aircraft's configuration to match that," he noted.
In order to fulfill this multi-INT mission set, RAMIS employs a suite of communications intelligence (COMINT), electronic intelligence (ELINT), imagery intelligence (IMINT), and signals intelligence (SIGINT) sensors fitted in an extended nose section and an underbelly 'canoe' fairing divided into four under-fuselage payload bays
