  • a relay station such as the anti-aircraft body launcher 3, may serve as an agent for the radio link RF of the command post 1 with the MOWABS 10.
  • the MOWABS 10 can have the components as they are associated with the Fig. 1 and 2 have been explained.
  • the antenna device 40 may be responsible for a radio antenna for maintaining the radio link RF with the command post 10.
  • the over the Radio communication RF exchanged information from and to the command post 10 may be communicated from the antenna device 40 to and from the sensor system 60 of the MOWABS 10.
  • the MOWABS 10 can be mounted on the loading surface of a motor vehicle (not explicitly shown), such as a truck or a motor vehicle trailer, via the adapter device 17 mounted on the underside of the container 16.
  • a motor vehicle such as a truck or a motor vehicle trailer
  • the adapter device 17 mounted on the underside of the container 16.
  • the motor vehicle or the motor vehicle trailer
  • the adapter device 17 may be formed so that the door of the container 16 can be opened and closed without resistance at the rear end of the vehicle.
  • the adapter device 17 may include a staircase, ladder, or other suitable container access that may be folded and locked during re-location of the container 16.
  • the MOWABS 10 may be fixed to the motor vehicle (or vehicle trailer) using suitable locking means, such as ISO 1161: 2016 twistlocks. If the Twistlocks are not used, they can be plugged in, so that a flat cargo area is guaranteed on the motor vehicle.
  • a mechanical level 12 may be provided on the container 16 and / or motor vehicle (or motor vehicle trailer) providing visual information to the operator about the current incline of the motor vehicle (or motor vehicle trailer).
  • the motor vehicle (or the motor vehicle trailer) may have a welded steel construction with corrosion protection as the vehicle frame and optionally a grounding device.
  • FIG. 3 shows a flowchart of a method M for controlling a mobile optical wide area reconnaissance and observation system (MOWABS), such as MOWABS 10 as described in connection with FIGS Fig. 1 and 2 illustrated and explained.
  • the method M can, for example, in a tactical Air defense system can be used, which has a MOWABS 10 as an element.
  • the method M initially comprises arranging a communication subsystem in a container.
  • an interface device which is in communicative communication with the communication subsystem via a wired data network connection, is arranged in the container.
  • the method M comprises, in a third stage M3, mounting a sensor device which is in communicative communication with the interface device via a wired data network connection and has an infrared sensor, a VIS camera and a laser rangefinder on the outside of the container.
  • an antenna device which communicatively communicates with the communication subsystem via a data bus connection, is mounted on the outside of the container.
  • the sensor device, the communication subsystem and the antenna device are supplied with electrical energy from an energy source of a power supply device.
  • the communication subsystem may include a communication and routing computer, an IT security controller with a time synchronization unit, and an administrator console.
  • the antenna device may include an antenna radio, at least one radio antenna, and an antenna device operation panel.
  • the power supply device may include a power management component and a power utility control panel. In this case, the energy source can have a fuel cell with a non-interruptible battery connected thereto.
  • the container may be mounted on a motor vehicle or on a motor vehicle trailer by means of an adapter device mounted on the underside of the container.
