UAV AT20 Only Unmanned Aerial System to Complete Multiple High Wind Flights during DSEi 2009 Thousands of Attendees Watched Live Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Flights Conducted by We would also like to express how pleased we are with the outcome of Operation Vision, which proved to be a huge success throughout the duration of DSEi 2009. This operation was the result of great teamwork and we would like to thank Stuart McBride and Dai Fares of Systematic and Bert Leak of Tactronics without whom Operation Vision would not have been possible. Particular thanks should go to Captain Stephen Taylor, Naval Advisor to DSEi, for bringing the team together and for supervising and coordinating the operation. Our Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) was the only UAS to conduct operations at the DSEi conference, successfully completing all ten flights using its SR20 Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). Over 26,000 people attended DSEi 2009, including Prince Michael of Kent and the Minister of Defense. In spite of strong winds during the event, ASM Europe LTD conducted multiple flights daily during the four-day event. Attendees either watched live from the pier or viewed the streaming MPEG4 video feed from the SR20 UAV projected onto the large event screens located inside the venue. The images relayed by the UAV in real-time were extremely clear and steady. The reliability and stability of the AT20 UAV to take-off, fly various patterns and land without any human intervention is due to Rotomotion’s sophisticated, patent-pending Autonomous Flight Control System (AFCS). The video footage will soon be available on ASM Europe’s website (www.asmeurope.eu) The AT20 is the industry’s most affordable short endurance electric engine UAV, powered by Lithium Polymer batteries and housing one to two cameras in a pan and tilt mount. The system can track objects of interest even when the helicopter nose is pointing away from the object. While capable of fully autonomous flight, our UAVs support in-flight switching between manual and autonomous modes, provided by a 2.4 MHz safety controller. The AT20 is the smallest of four model sizes available; it weighs in at just under 7 kg and measures 1540 mm x 355 mm x 570 mm. All our UAVs use the same control system, incorporating an AFCS, a GPS and a ground control system (GCS), with larger, gas powered, UAVs available for longer flight times and heavier payloads. Codenamed Operation Vision, the demonstration provided DESi attendees intimate, in-depth understanding of the financially beneficial alternative to traditional helicopters for a variety of circumstances. The SR20 maintained stability despite flying with 20 knot winds on certain days and the audience watching from the Royal Dock’s pier was also impressed by the electric SR20’s almost silent operation, well below the level of the noise generated by the boats along the London Docklands. |
UAV Helicopter Completes First Ever Autonomous UAV Helicopter Flight at Parc Aberporth
Our UAV Helicopter Impresses Audience despite 30 - 40 Knot Winds at Unmanned Systems 2008 Conference (25 – 26 June 2008) London, UK, 1st of July, 2008 – ASM Europe Ltd announced today that the recently introduced fully autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) helicopter AT20 successfully completed the first rotorcraft flight ever conducted at the Parc Aberporth Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) flight facility. This inaugural flight was accomplished during the Parc Aberporth Unmanned Systems 2008 Conference in spite of strong winds that caused problems for most fixed wing UAV demonstrations. The audience was impressed by the stability of AT20 UAV during take-off, various flight patterns, including a figure of eight, spiral ascent and hovering in one location, all the while seeing overcoat and hats whipping around in the background due to constant wind speeds exceeding 30 knots and gusts of up to 40 knots. The sophisticated Autonomous Flight Control System (AFCS) controlled the SR20’s entire flight, including take-off and landing, without any intervention from human personnel. The AT20 uses a 1.6kw electric engine powered by Lithium Polymer batteries. We also offers larger, gas powered, UAVs for longer flight times and heavier payloads. “This was the first opportunity for ASM at this exciting UK UAS facility and conference,” stated Pietro Amati, Managing Director of ASM Europe. “We are pleased to introduce our UAS to this audience in this fashion. It truly reflects our advanced AFCS and UAS capabilities, furthering the cause and usefulness of Parc Aberporth’s UAV facility.” According to many industry analysts, UAVs offer a myriad of new civil and paramilitary applications, including security surveillance over urban areas, search-and-rescue missions and environmental or infrastructure monitoring. But UAVs must first be cleared for use in civil airspace, which drove the establishment of the Parc Aberporth research-and-development center on the west coast of Wales. The facility is positioning itself as a center of excellence for both civil and military UAV development. The £20 million facility’s remote location on the UK’s Atlantic coast makes it ideal for testing UAVs in controlled airspace. |
