Ukuphakama okuphezulu kwe-Air Force, imozulu yonke, i-U-2 Dragon Lady, isandula ukubhabha kwimishini yayo yokugqibela yekhamera ye-Optical strip eBill Air Force Base.
Njengoko i-2nd yachaza. ULieutenant Hailey M. Toledo, i-9th Reconnaissance Wing kwiMicimbi yoLuntu, kwinqaku elithi "Ukuphela kwexesha: U-2s kwiMishini yokugqibela ye-OBC," i-OBC mission iya kuthatha iifoto eziphakamileyo eziphakamileyo emini kwaye iya kutshintshela phambi kwenkxaso Indawo yokulwa yanikezelwa yi-Arhente yeSizwe ye-Geospatial-Intelligence.Le ntshukumo ivumela iprosesa ukuba idibanise ifilimu ngokusondeleyo kwingqokelela yolwazi olufunekayo kwi-mission.
U-Adam Marigliani, iNgcali yeNkxaso yobuNjineli be-Aerospace, uCollins, uthe: "Lo msitho uvala isahluko seminyaka engamashumi eminyaka kwi-Bill Air Force Base kunye nokusetyenzwa kwefilimu kwaye uvula isahluko esitsha kwihlabathi ledijithali."
I-Collins Aerospace isebenze kunye ne-9th Intelligence Squadron kwi-Beale Air Force Base ukukhuphela imifanekiso ye-OBC kwi-U-2 yemishini emhlabeni jikelele ukuxhasa iinjongo zoMkhosi woMoya.
I-OBC mission iqhutywe kwi-Bill AFB malunga neminyaka eyi-52, kunye ne-U-2 yokuqala ye-OBC isetyenziswe kwi-Beale AFB kwi-1974. Ithathwe kwi-SR-71, i-OBC yatshintshwa kwaye indiza yavavanywa ukuxhasa i-platform ye-U-2, ithatha indawo ende. -inzwa yokuma ye-IRIS.Ngelixa i-IRIS ye-24-intshi ubude obugxininisekile bubonelela ngokubanzi, i-OBC ye-30-intshi ubude obugxininisekile buvumela ukwanda okukhulu kwesisombululo.
"I-U-2 igcina amandla okwenza imisebenzi ye-OBC kwinqanaba lehlabathi kunye namandla anamandla okuhambisa amandla xa kufuneka," kusho uLt. Col. James Gayser, umphathi we-99th Reconnaissance Squadron.
I-OBC isetyenziselwa ukuxhasa imisebenzi eyahlukeneyo, kubandakanywa uncedo lwe-Hurricane Katrina, isiganeko sesityalo samandla enyukliya se-Fukushima Daiichi, kunye ne-Enduring Freedom, i-Iraqi Freedom, kunye ne-Joint Task Force Horn ye-Afrika imisebenzi.
Ngelixa isebenza e-Afghanistan, i-U-2 ifanekisela ilizwe lonke rhoqo ngeentsuku ezingama-90, kwaye iiyunithi kulo lonke iSebe lezoKhuselo zisebenzisa imifanekiso ye-OBC ukucwangcisa imisebenzi.
"Bonke abaqhubi beenqwelomoya aba-U-2 baya kugcina ulwazi kunye nezakhono zokusebenzisa izixhobo zoluvo kuzo zonke iiseti zemishini kunye neendawo zokusebenza ukuhlangabezana neemfuno eziphambili zokuqokelela ubukrelekrele bomphathi wejografi," utshilo uGeiser. ukukhula, inkqubo ye-U-2 iyakuvela ukuze igcine ukufaneleka kokulwa kubuchule obahlukeneyo be-C5ISR-T kunye nokulwa iindima zokudityaniswa koMkhosi woMoya.
Ukuvalwa kwe-OBC kwi-Bill AFB ivumela iiyunithi ze-mission kunye namaqabane ukuba agxininise amandla amakhulu kwizakhono ezingxamisekileyo, amaqhinga, ubuchule kunye neenkqubo, kunye neengcamango zengqesho ezixhasa ngokuthe ngqo ingxaki yokusongela isantya esetyenzisiweyo ukuqhubela phambili yonke i-mission ye-9 ye-Reconnaissance Wing.
I-U-2 ibonelela ngomgangatho ophezulu, ukuqwalaselwa kwemozulu yonke kunye nokuqwalaselwa, imini okanye ubusuku, ngokuxhasa ngokuthe ngqo i-US kunye nemikhosi ehlangeneyo.Inika umfanekiso obalulekileyo kunye nemiqondiso yobulumko kubenzi bezigqibo ngexesha lazo zonke izigaba zengxabano, kubandakanywa izibonakaliso zexesha loxolo kunye nezilumkiso. , ungquzulwano oluphantsi kunye nobutshaba obukhulu.
I-U-2 iyakwazi ukuqokelela imifanekiso eyahlukeneyo, kubandakanywa i-multispectral electro-optical, i-infrared kunye ne-synthetic aperture radar iimveliso ezinokugcinwa okanye zithunyelwe kumaziko ophuhliso lomhlaba.Ngaphezu koko, isekela i-high-resolution, imozulu yendawo ebanzi. ukhuselo olubonelelwa ziikhamera ze-optical strip ezivelisa iimveliso zefilimu zemveli, eziphuhliswe kwaye zihlalutywe emva kokuba zifike.
