There is provided a ground sensor assembly adapted for deployment from air
to a selected ground location. The ground sensor assembly comprises an aerially
deployable sensor housing which has upper and lower housing ends defining a longitudinally
elongated aperture therebetween. A plurality of connected sensor modules are longitudinally
inserted into the aperture between the upper and lower housing ends. Furthermore,
an aerodynamic module is connected to the sensor modules and is disposed adjacent
the upper housing end outside the aperture. This aerodynamic module has a plurality
of stabilizers which radially extend outward therefrom and form a generally parallel
relationship with the upper housing end. Such stabilizers provide aerodynamic stability
during the deployment of the ground sensor assembly from the air to the selected
ground location.
