The Lockheed Corporation developed a family of payload sensors for use in unmanned air vehicle applications. The program was initially conceived as an extension of the U.S. Army Aquila Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) Program and is applicable to a much wider variety of uses and applications. The design concept utilized a universal gimbal platform with interchangeable sensor spheres. The concept and implementation process was directed to develop a low-cost sensor system which could easily accommodate new sensors as they become available. The system has been developed and demonstrated using the Lockheed Altair UAV system and is available for use. A family of seven sensor types were successfully demonstrated, and others are in development. The system is known as the Lockheed Adaptive Modular Payload System (LAMPS).
