On board systems

ON-BOARD SYSTEMS COMPRISING AUTO-PILOTS FOR VERY HIGH-PERFORMANCE & COMPACT VTOL UAVS, FIXED-WING UAVS, BLIMP UAVS AND INERTIAL UNITS, ON-BOARD DATA LINKS AND TRANSMISSION RELAYS, SIGHT FEEDBACK

 

Autopilote SURVEY COpterSURVEY Copter and weControl produce and market the following different on-board system components: auto-pilots, inertial units, GPS, data links.

SURVEY Copter and weControl produce and market high-performance auto-pilots. The current range covers VTOL UAVs with the wePilot1000 model, and also the wePilot4RMAX, specialised for YAMAHA's RMAX UAV ; aeroplane type fixed-wing UAVS with the wePilot2000 model and finally the UAVS BLIMP. SURVEY Copter and weControl perform the initial incorporation of the auto-pilots in their customers' airborne vehicles.

Centrale inertielle SURVEY CopterSURVEY Copter produces inertial plants that are built into the auto-pilots or equipment, such as certain gimbals.

SURVEY Copter designs and produces airborne transmission relays on full-size aircraft. It designed and produced a shooting video assistance system mounted on the Gazelle.

 

 

A UAV system comprises an airborne vehicle and a ground station

 

The airborne vehicle comprises a motorised cell, incorporating :

 

  • An auto-pilot

  • A data link for communications

  • A payload sized for the mission to be performed

The automatic navigation is entirely based on waypoints identified by their coordinates in 3D space. The payload (visible, infrared camera, etc.) is built into a gyro-stabilised gimbal  reducing the carrier's movements and enabling the operator to aim at the target or scene of interest.

 

 

The ground station comprises :

 

  • Control joysticks for manually controlling the UAV via auto-pilot and for controlling the payload

  • A PC for preparing and then tracking the UAV's mission

The ground station is attached to a tracking turret providing the data link with the UAV in flight, and optimising the link quality by automatically aiming in the direction of the system in flight.
