AP 10.2

Automatic Control System for UAV with a takeoff weight of 15 kg up to 100 kg

OVERVIEW

The AP 10.2 system is designed to control a surface, ground or airborne platform automatically, semi-automatically or manually.

The system is configurable for the following platforms:
  • Standard airplane for automatic take-off and landing
  • Rotor-wings for automatic take-off and landing
  • Balloons, Blimps
  • USVs (boats)
  • UGVs (cars)
The AP 10.2 was designed for small platforms and has the following advantages:
  • reduced form factors (avionics weight less then 350 g)
  • reduced energy consumption
Most payload can be interfaced through:
  • 1-Wire
  • RS-232
  • RS-485
  • TTL UART
  • CAN

KEY FEATURES

  • Very small size and lightweight
  • ESD protection
  • Leading edge components and technologies
  • Dead-reckoning, flight and navigation without GPS
  • Automatic take-off and automatic landing
  • Operating/flight mechanisms controls
  • Engine/power plant control
  • Semi-automatic control with automatic stabilization
  • Manual control over 928MHz from ground control station
  • Emergency mode
  • Payload control
  • Payload feedback
  • Gyro-stabilization mode for rotating platforms
  • Telemetry 10Hz with compressed stream, 100km LOS
  • Ground simulation mode – flight simulator
  • Operator training on flight simulator
  • Pre-flight and flight assignment testing
  • Onboard power control and monitoring
  • Power stabilization
  • Distribution, including emergency power supply mode
