PURPOSE

SKYRON O UAV based surrounding area control system is designed for operational surveillance and video recording of emergency locations (or their probability assessment), intruder detection, search for missing persons, also under restricted access conditions.

FIELDS OF APPLICATION

• search and reconnaissance agencies
• as part of integrated facility security systems

VERSION

• system consists of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) equipped with a removable payload, a launch container, an antenna module with PTZ unit and ground control station (GCS)
• UAV is an undismountable quadcopter with four lift rotors and detachable power supply modules
• quadcopter is equipped with electric brushless motors with direct drive to the propellers
• removable UAV payload is a video camera on a gyrostabilized platform (included into standard delivery set) or a thermal imaging camera on a gyrostabilized platform (specified in the delivery contract) mounted on a quick release lock on UAV bottom part
• antenna module with pan/tilt unit mounts on the tripod included in the package
• GCS includes a notebook with special software, a mouse, a joystick controller in a protective case
• system is equipped with a charging unit to recharge the power supply module from a single-phase AC grid
• additional unit for simultaneous charging of four power supply modules from single-phase AC grid is optional (specified in the delivery contract)
• special case is included for transporting and protecting all components from external impacts included in the set

FEATURES

• video surveillance, thermal imaging surveillance and data transfer to ground control station
• receiving, viewing and recording real-time video feed from the UAV at ground control station
• flight control of UAV and its payload - video camera or thermal imaging camera - from ground control station
• creating, editing, saving of flight maps
• flight plan creating, editing, saving on the notebook and uploading it to UAV
• display of UAV telemetry data and its position on the flight map
• flying according to pre-set flight plan: upon launching UAV follows a predefined route consisting of navigation points with preset altitude and time of stay parameters
• flight without a pre-set map according to automatically generated flight plan: upon launching UA performs a 10 m take-off, the operator can control the flight using GCS manipulator
• creating flight plans on location map including up to 200 waypoints with specified location coordinates, altitude and time of stay
• speed and altitude adjustment by the operator during flight to a waypoint
• operator changing the aircraft heading angle during flight to the waypoint maintaining the flight path
• UAV control upon reaching a navigation point, its offset, turn, altitude, video camera tilt, prolonging stay time in the navigation point and leaving it before the preset stay time ends
• Operator interrupts the flight at any time with a return command, at that UAV will stop, continue to fly to the landing point and perform an automatic landing
• automatic flight plan interruption and returning to landing point in case of communication failure with GCS for more than 12 seconds
• forced flight plan interruption at power module voltage drop and depending on the charge level, returning to the launch point or landing at the current position
• pan-tilt unit tracking elevation and direction angle to UAV during the flight

PECULIARITIES

• downloading via Internet and saving terrain maps to the GCS notebook both preliminarily for the selected area and directly at the deployment site with current coordinates reference
• automatically generated flight plan mode to reduce launch preparation period and perform flights in the absence of a flight map for surveying incident sites, inspecting facilities, etc.
• automatic synchronization of data transmission between UAV and antenna module with pan/tilt unit
• product assembly time from travelling position to operating one takes up to 5 minutes for one person
• system operates with SKYRON special software

SCOPE OF SUPPLY

DESCRIPTION OF SYSTEM PARTS

• SKYRON O Unmanned aerial vehicle is designed for air transporting a video camera or a thermal imaging camera to the monitored area
