Airborne oil spill surveillance systems in Sweden

Conference · Mon Jan 01 04:00:00 EST 1979 · Am. Pet. Inst., Publ.; (United States)

OSTI ID:6631310

Two different oil spill surveillance systems were developed by the Swedish Space Corp. (SSC) for the Sweden Coast Guard (SCG) and the Sweden Board for Space Activities. These systems are installed in two SCG Cessna 337 aircraft. One of the systems is based on a side looking airborne radar, developed by L. M. Ericsson Telephone Co. under contract to the SSC. The other system is based on a Daedulus IR-UV line scanner. Both systems generate real-time imagery on a television monitor. Both aircraft also have a Decca tactical air navigational system and a camera system on board. Technical evaluation and field testing of the two surveillance systems were carried out during 1978. The systems gradually will be put into operational use by the SCG for coastal surveillance.
