An upgrade to the RAAF Orion AP-3C Capability System enables crews to provide coalition commanders with valuable real time aerial views of their surrounding environments.
The introduction of TCDL technology means that detailed aerial visuals of an area can be beamed to ground troops, day or night, to help identify hostile or suspicious activities.
This has never been successfully achieved by a major Australian defence system to date, let alone from an aircraft to individual soldiers.
The project was conducted by Maritime Patrol System Program Office, BAE Systems Australia and Australian Aerospace and won an Australian Engineering Excellence Award in 2008.
