N600BV
Sad to hear about this. I have been been based in Malaga on and off now for coming 4 years and seen this aircraft and met with someof the people involved many a times.
This was a speacial mission King Air equipment out of this world that included remote Sensing Equipment:
· VHF-UHF SAR / SRI International _ Profiling and SAR modes
· HSI / ITRES CASI II _ 288 bands, 512 pixels 1.2 mrad resolution
· Thermal IR / Daedelus _ 3-5 plus 8-14 micron 1 mrad resolution
· Camera / SRI International _ Kodak 460 digital
Aircraft was modified for sensors including radar, hyperspectral imager, and thermal infrared scanner
It could be used for all of the following jobs:
· UXO (Unexploded Ordnance Detection)
· Toxic Waste Detection
· Humanitarian Demining
· Agriculture Studies
· Forest Resource & Inventory
· Urban & Engineering Studies
· General Database Development etc
Though I doubt that any of this equipment was installed on this flight...
