mappingsurveillancefixed-wing

Small electric < 7kg MTOW Fixed Wing (FW) Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) for low level (<400 ft AGL), short-range (<7km) day/night live streaming surveillance platform. Development The Condor™ platform has been developed by V-TOL Aerospace to provide a low-cost, easy to use and reliable extended line-of-sight (LOS) ready mini-RPAS capable of conducting surveillance (color or thermal) via a belly mounted camera. The video footage is streamed to the Ground Control Station (GCS) live, while the footage is also recorded on board for post-flight analysis or evidence retention. When used in conjunction with other tiers of small-RPAS, such as the Goshawk or Hornet multi-rotor systems, the Goshawk™ can provide broad area coverage while the VTOL system can be deployed to identify a specific target of interest to mm resolution (see Hornet and Goshawk brochures for more information). Description Airframe Developed using collision safe materials this hi-wing 3 axis aircraft provides a stable camera platform for airborne imaging operations < 400ft AGL. Thrust is provided by a rear mounted electric power plant. Cameras are located in the nose and belly. Airframe is a mix of impact optimized energy-absorbing EPP and EPO. Mission payloads The Condor™ in the surveillance configuration carries HD 1080p/4K colour camera with on-board storage. A thermal camera payload can also be fitted (dual or single) for night and/orThermal day operations. The Condor™ platform comes with a fixed pilot view optical sensor for day operations to assist with general situational awareness. Guidance and Control Condor™ utilizes V-TOL proprietary auto-pilot software known as “V-TOL Neuron™”.
