  Xponential 2019: UAVOS flight testing weapon-capable helicopter UAV
  By: Jane's 360

  Key Points

  • — UAVOS is flight testing a helicopter VTOL UAV that could deploy missiles
  • — The company designed the aircraft to be rotary wing as it would withstand harsh weather

  UAVOS is flight testing a helicopter unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that a company official believes could deploy a weapon such as an airborne missile.

  Aliaksei Stratsilatau, UAVOS board chairman and lead developer, told Jane's on 2 May that this is because this UAV, the UVH-290E, demonstrated precise controls during flight tests. The aircraft also has four hard points, two on each side. But UAVOS has yet to deploy any weapons during testing because it does not have any military contracts, Stratsilatau said.

  Earth observation platform measured weather conditions in stratosphere
  By: Autonomous Vehicle Technology

  UAVOS Inc. and Stratodynamics Aviation Inc. successfully completed the next stage of flight tests of the HiDRON earth observation platform to an altitude of 25 km (82,000 ft). The HiDRON also carried an atmospheric measurement system onboard, in a collaboration with researchers from the University of Kentucky. The nighttime flight lasted four hours, including the one-hour weather balloon launch period with an average climb rate at 6.8 m/s (22 ft/s). At release altitude, the HiDRON was 36 km (22 mi) away from the launch site; from there it headed home and was above the launch area at an altitude of 18 km (59,000 ft). The HiDRON then glided near the home position with a descent rate much slower than a comparable parachute-borne instrument. The return flight home lasted about 3 hours.

  Unmanned Helicopter Soars with UAVOS’ ‘GLIDER’ Autorotation Algorithm
  By: Rotor & Wing International

  Drone research company UAVOS last week tested a new flight algorithm for unmanned vertical takeoff and landing aircraft that could allow the aircraft to safely land in case of engine failure.

  Called GLIDER, the new algorithm controls autorotation as part of the company's wider autopilot module. The new flight mode can automatically switch the helicopter to autorotate mode in the case of engine failure, which improves safety and survivability. It also protects the power unit from overloads in critical flight conditions, according to UAVOS.

  USV Designed to Provide Fuel and Cargo Delivery to Offshore Locations
  By: Unmanned Systems Technology

  UAVOS has announced that it has developed a new Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) that provides a refuelling system to remote and offshore locations beyond inhabited areas. The newly developed solution, which delivers a refuelling hose from a mothership to the shore, will become an alternative to manned boats, which are often unable to get near the coast due to strong waves or other environmental factors.

  The unmanned boat is based on a SeaDoo water scooter. As part of the refitting, UAVOS’ automatic control system has been integrated into the vehicle, and a hermetic upper housing and a pneumatic gun with an inertia-free coil for a cable has been specially designed.

  UAVOS Participating in Meteorological Project Manufacturing Unmanned Stratospheric Aircraft
  By: DroneBelow.com

  UAVOS Inc. is finalizing preparations for the stratospheric aircraft HiDRON, commissioned by the Stratodynamics Aviation Inc. The HiDRON is a unique balloon-launched unmanned glider capable of autonomous and soaring flight modes, and designed for collecting high-altitude atmospheric data.

  The key objective of the HiDRON is to provide a new dynamic method for measuring and evaluating atmospheric phenomena at various altitudes in a variety of geographical locations. During the November campaign, the HiDRON will reach altitudes up to 25 km (82,000 feet) and carry an atmospheric sensor system developed by Dr. Marcelo I. Guzman and T.J. Schuyler from the University of Kentucky. Their study aims to demonstrate how to perform accurate measurements of ozone chemical and physical properties using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The stratospheric ozone layer plays a key role in protecting the Earth surface from damaging UV radiation.

  Autonomous high-altitude aircraft nails new flight tests
  By: Michael Irving - NewAtlas.com

  We're a step closer to having high-altitude, long-endurance, autonomous aircraft soaring through the skies. UAVOS has now announced that a prototype of the company's High Altitude Pseudo Satellite (HAPS) ApusDuo aircraft has completed the first stage of flight tests.

  As the name suggests, these HAPS aircraft are designed to occupy the space between drones and satellites, soaring to altitudes as high as 20,000 m (65,600 ft). From that vantage point, they're able to monitor the environment in the atmosphere and back on the ground, beam internet or radio communications over long distances, or perform military surveillance operations. The Airbus Zephyr is one such project, and until recently Facebook had been trialling a program called Aquila that was designed to beam high-speed internet to the world.

  By: sUAS News

  Aliaksei Stratsilatau, UAVOS Lead developer, is sharing UAVOS’s experience of the conversion of a manned aircraft the 2-seat Pipistrel Sinus

  Where did the idea to convert manned aircraft into UAS originate?

  From one of our customers, we received an order for the manufacture of heavy UAS. That customer needed unmanned vehicles of this type for commercial use. When we calculated the cost of developing and manufacturing a heavy UAS from a scratch, the cost of the flight hour was too high, much higher than the cost of the flying hour of a conventional manned aircraft. High production costs are the result of the small series. Then we offered our customer to expand the range of required commercial UAS by converting, and chose for this purpose Pipistrel Sinus.

  UAVOS Updates High Altitude Solar-Powered UAV Concept
  By: DroneBelow.com

  UAVOS Inc, a Mountain View-based company specialized in unmanned solutions, is introducing a new solution – a control system for aircrafts with a flexible wing for high-altitude unmanned aerial vehicles HAPS (High Altitude Pseudo Satellite). New flight control principles will allow to shift the geographic area of “solar” aircraft flights to more northern latitudes.

  HAPS will provide unique opportunities for using this solution in both civilian and defense areas, and for security tasks. UAVs powered by solar energy can serve for long continuous monitoring of the area of interest on the Earth’s surface to get real-time information. To meet the demands of telecommunication companies, HAPS can create a network of autonomous repeaters of radio and high speed data signals over practically any territory, including the Northern regions during the summer, where the use of regular aircrafts is highly problematic due to economic reasons, and weather conditions.

The aircraft has been designed for multispectral and radar monitoring of ground objects and marine areas for cargo transportation applications.

  The Albatross optionally-piloted vehicle will be based on the Sinus light aircraft manufactured by Pipistrel, which has sold more than 2,000 units of the two-seater aircraft. Sinus will be integrated with UAVOS’ automatic control system, and the wings will be modified to carry suspensions for payload and electrical circuitry will be rearranged. After the completion of the upgrades, UAVOS together with the aircraft manufacturer will conduct an analysis of the structural strength and finalize the operational documentation. Albatross will feature completely autonomous take-off, en-route flight and landing, and will provide payload capacity of 350 kg and range of 5,000 km.
