Abstract
A vehicle is provided having an interior cabin and a roof at the top of the interior cabin. The vehicle includes a flatbed, an opening in the roof of the interior cabin, a first retractable telescoping structure having a first set of surveillance equipment mounted to the flatbed, and a second retractable telescoping structure having a second set of surveillance equipment mounted so as to extend through the opening of the roof, and to fully retract into the interior cabin. A sealing device mounts to the second retractable telescoping structure below the second set of surveillance equipment and oriented parallel to the roof of the interior cabin. The sealing device includes an elastically deformable gasket that elastically deforms during travel of the sealing device through the roof of the interior cabin when the second set of surveillance equipment extends through the opening in the roof during extension of the second retractable telescoping structure, and when the second set of surveillance equipment retracts into the interior cabin during retraction of the second retractable telescoping structure.
