Abstract

The procurement of mobile microwave scatterometer involve the consideration to ensure vehicle and equipment selection full-filled technical requirement and safety standard in Malaysia. Designing, and modification works involve engineering methodology in determining and selecting a suitable hydraulic telescopic boom that suit a selected vehicle available from the market. The vehicle is also a delivery system for microwave remote sensing equipment and other accessories to any locations in Malaysia. Total loading to be carried by the vehicle is about 4500 kg and its overall weight must be 16,000 kg as recommended by hydraulic telescopic boom manufacturers. The telescopic boom will elevate microwave scatterometer system and antenna to a maximum height of 27 m, and can also be rotated through 360$^{\circ}$. A mechanism is incorporated in the system to enable tracking or monitoring angular movement of the hydraulic telescopic boom when positioned towards required target.
