Zusammenfassung:	A deployable airborne sensor array system (100) and method of use are provided herein. The system includes a tether (106) configured to be coupled to and deployed from an aircraft (102) and a plurality of airborne vehicles (104) coupled to the tether (106). Each of the plurality of airborne vehicles (104) includes different lift characteristics to form a three-dimensional (3D) array of airborne vehicles. Each airborne vehicle (104) includes a sensing device (114) configured to generate sensor data associated with a target. The system also include a computing device (108) configured to process the sensor data received from each of said plurality of airborne vehicles (104) and generate an image of the target based on the sensor data.
