Editing RAPTOR (section)

== DB-110 ==
DB-110 ('dual-band 110-inch [[focal length]]') was developed as an exportable derivative of the [[Lockheed U-2#U-2R/S details|U-2]]'s ''Senior Year'' Electro-Optical Reconnaissance System (SYERS-2).<ref name="FAS, SYERS" /> It represents a shift for airborne [[tactical reconnaissance]] systems from visible light, daylight-only film-based systems to dual-band day and night digital imaging with real-time downlinking.<ref name="UTC Aerospace, DB-110" /> The DB-110 remains the only comparable LOROP (Long-Range Oblique Photography) pod to have been demonstrated in use on [[tactical aircraft]].<ref name="UTC Aerospace, DB-110" /><ref name="AGI 2008, DB-110" />

DB-110 installations, such as RAPTOR, also include a reconnaissance mission planning system (RMPS). Planned missions produce route cards for a [[pilot's kneeboard]], are downloaded to route planning systems on either the recon aircraft or [[Airborne early warning and control|AWACS]] aircraft and are placed on a [[PCMCIA]] card that is used to load the pod itself with sensor tasking information.<ref name="AGI 2008, DB-110" />
