COMPONENTS
The SDIS consists essentially of connecting these three devices to one another. No hardware is physically installed in the aircraft. OPERATION Prior to takeoff, the operator connects the laptop to the Web Mission Information Reporting System (WMIRS) and obtains a mission identifier. During flight, photos are downloaded to the laptop computer and e-mailed to the customer or CAP base using the satellite phone. Images are also captured to a memory card in the digital camera, and may be edited or uploaded to the WMIRS after landing. The Satellite Digital Imaging System (SDIS) was demonstrated successfully in the search and recovery efforts following hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005. EXTERNAL LINKS
