Afghanistan Picture Thread

I snapped a couple quick ones this morning. I will get some more up when the sun gets all the way up. Thought Id give you guys an idea of where I work though.



here is the center of where I pull up all the telemetery and video feeds of anything flying in the area. The parts I cant show arent in the photo so it looks kinda like nothing lol.



This is my little command center. If you look in the top left those are my babys. The MDAS antenna is the big brown one and I control that from inside the shelter.

Ill get some more up in a little bit, just waiting for the sun to come up

Telemetry?

We use telemetry at work on our dosimeters to show real-time dose rates and dose picked up when working in high dose areas or in the reactor building. Guessing it is kinda different than what you use it for?

Nice camp.

We refer to Telemetry as all the feeds we get from the system.. I can go anywhere in Afghanistan and read VGAS or LONG/LAT plus Elevation also whatever video feed I am getting will tell me exactly where the aircraft is, at what hieght they are flying at, what there cross hairs are on etc etc etc. Its a huge database of intel info

Sorta the same then, basically showing realtime data.
