We employ the perspective of the functional equation satisfied by the classical Fourier transform to derive the Helgason Fourier transform map Ωl(G/K,W)⟶Ωk(G/K×G/P,V[χ]):f⟼f:G/K×G/P↦V[χ]:(x,b)⟼f(x,b) (for W−valued differential forms f∈Ωl(G/K,W)) as the G− invariant vector bundle-valued differential form f on the product space G/K×G/P whose image under the vector bundle-valued Poisson transform is the fibre convolution-integral φτ,l,kUσ,ν∗f on G/K, where φτ,l,kUσ,ν is the W−valued τ−spherical l−form on G/K. Explicitly, we prove that fl,k,ε(λ)(x,b)=(Coλ)−1∘βV(λ))∘(∫G/Kφλ,l,kUσν,t∧πK∗f)(x), where b∈G/P is a consequence of the boundary map βV(λ),Co(λ) is the vector bundle-valued Harish-Chandra c−function and for some λ−linear relation, ε(λ). The Fourier transform is found to be the map ΩlG/K,W)⟶Ωk(G/K×G/P,W):f↦f△:G/P×G/K⟶W:(b,x)⟼f△(b,x) and is then established to be explicitly given as fl,k,υ(λ)△(b,x)=∫G/Pϕk,l,λ∧πP∗((Co(λ)−1∘βVλ))∘(∫G/Kφλ,l,kUσν,t∧πK∗f)(x)), where υ(λ) is some λ−linear relation.
