PTDS (Persistent Threat Detection System) es un sistema dise\u00f1ado por Lockheed Martin, que b\u00e1sicamente consiste en un enorme Aerostato de Helio, anclado a tierra, con el soporte de poderosos sistemas de radar y sensores de todo tipo, que permiten proveer a las tropas terrestres de inteligencia, vigilancia y reconocimiento de largo alcance, as\u00ed como asistencia a las comunicaciones. El US Army ha venido usando Aerostatos fijos (Anclados)\u00a0 con sensores diversos, en misiones ISR (Intelligence ,Surveillance , Reconnaissance) con excelentes resultados, en apoyo a las fuerzas de la coalici\u00f3n en Iraq y Afganistan. Este tipo de sistemas es adem\u00e1s una de las herramientas ISR m\u00e1s empleadas actualmente para la detecci\u00f3n temprana de amenazas del tipo IED (Improvised Explosive Device) ocultas a lo largo de carreteras.<\/p>\n

\"\"The US Army is using tethered aerostats with multi-mission sensors to provide long endurance intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance (ISR) and communications in support of coalition forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

The aerostat-based Persistent Threat Detection System (PTDS) is one of the ISR tools the Army uses to detect improvised explosive devices (IEDs) buried along roadsides\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

An aerostat is a lighter-than-air craft that relies on a ground tether for movement and often for power as well, as opposed to blimps which are self-powered, free-flying craft. DID has more coverage<\/a> of military applications of aerostats.<\/p>\n

The aerostat for the PTDS<\/a> \"external [PDF] is smaller than the aerostat used in the Tethered Aerostat Radar System<\/a> (TARS), which provides surveillance along the US-Mexican border. The PTDS aerostat is 115 feet long with 74,000 cubic feet of helium and a 1,102 pound payload; the TARS aerostat made by Lockheed Martin is 1,640 feet long with 420,000 cubic feet of helium and a 2,205 pound payload.<\/p>\n

In addition, the mooring for the PTDS aerostat is mobile and relocatable, making it suitable for use in combat situations and difficult terrain.<\/p>\n

In addition to the aerostat, the PTDS includes:<\/p>\n
