Oculus:

Developed by West Virginia University to be the first of its kind roll-on-roll-off C-130 palletized sensor bay, the Oculus allows unprecedented flexibility for C-130 reconnaissance.

Capable of being loaded and unloaded in a matter of minutes Oculus converts any C-130 into a platform capable of handling nearly any ISR mission payload requirement. With a large sensor bay, the Oculus is capable of handling most and payload including multi-spectral, hyper-spectral, thermal, EMINT, COMINT, SAR, as well as many others.

In addition to being a roll on roll of pallet, every Oculus comes equipped with an INS (Inertial Navigation Sensor) provided by Airborne Data Systems. This INS is completely sharable thru either a 1553 buss or RS-422, allowing any sensor on board to have shared navigation and targeting solutions.
