MAST : Mul-Mission Advanced Sensor T estbed A Cost-Effective, Flexible DoD / NASA / Industry Partnership Asset Developed in concert with the Air Force Research Labs Flight Vehicles Integraon Branch and NASA Glenn Research Center, the MAST pod combines off-the-shelf earth- and fire-mapping capabilies with a developmental gimbal-stabilized HSI sensor. Embedded navigaon, geo-locaon, and video downlink capabilies are provided onboard the pod in a package designed to accommodate a high-performance subsonic research aircraſt flight envelope. Flexible, Modular, and Adaptable to Multiple Payloads The pod’s structure provides an extensive volume and weight carriage capability for rack-mounted electronics packages with up to a 19" form factor. Vibraon isolaon is provided onboard the pod. Filtered 28VDC power is distributed from the host aircraſt, along with an aircraſt-rated, switched Gigabit Ethernet network. Support for L-band video downlink is also included. With minimal internal changes, MAST can support a wide variety of test, evaluaon, demo, or operaonal payloads, including UAV sensor packages, advanced airborne networks, airborne communicaon relay / gateways, or atmospheric chemistry experiments.

MAST: Multi-Mission Advanced Sensor Testbed
A Cost-Effective, Flexible DoD / NASA / Industry Partnership Asset
Developed in concert with the Air Force Research Labs Flight Vehicles Integration Branch and NASA Glenn Research Center, the MAST pod combines off-the-shelf earth- and fire-mapping capabilities with a developmental gimbal-stabilized HSI sensor. Embedded navigation, geo-location, and video downlink capabilities are provided onboard the pod in a package designed to accommodate a high-performance subsonic research aircraft flight envelope.
Flexible, Modular, and Adaptable to Multiple Payloads
The pod’s structure provides an extensive volume and weight carriage capability for rack-mounted electronics packages with up to a 19" form factor. Vibration isolation is provided onboard the pod. Filtered 28VDC power is distributed from the host aircraft, along with an aircraft-rated, switched Gigabit Ethernet network. Support for L-band video downlink is also included. With minimal internal changes, MAST can support a wide variety of test, evaluation, demo, or operational payloads, including UAV sensor packages, advanced airborne networks, airborne communication relay / gateways, or atmospheric chemistry experiments.
Features• Configurable Nose Sensor Bay (shown equipped with Argon ST 14” Aeroscout gimbal)
• Configurable Tail Sensor Bay (currently empty for future growth)
• Center NADIR imaging bay (compatible with Argon ST Daedelus Airborne Multispectral Scanner – AMS)
• Nose, Tail, and Center bays configurable with RF transparent radomes for EW, SIGINT, C2, and similar payloads
• Argon ST Common Data Acquisition System (CDAS) for command/control and data collection
• GPS/INS navigation suite (sub-meter accuracy)
• Gigabit ethernet switched network and connectivity to aircraft SATCOM3
• 28VDC filtered power supply
• L band downlink (compatible with ROVER)
• 19” vibration isolated racks (forward and aft bays)
