Electronic surveillance system

A surveillance system for remotely monitoring an interior of an aircraft, comprising:

• a plurality of video and audio sensors mounted within the aircraft to monitor covertly different fields of regard within the aircraft's interior;
• control means operatively connected to the plurality of sensors for controlling an operation of each of the sensors in response to command signals transmitted from a location outside the aircraft;
• first transmitting and receiving means, including at least one antenna, mounted entirely within the interior of the aircraft for selectively transmitting signals from the plurality of video and audio sensors to the location outside the aircraft and for receiving the command signals;
• and
• second transmitting and receiving means, including at least one antenna, disposed at the location outside the aircraft for transmitting the command signals and for receiving the signals from the plurality of video and audio sensors.
