Miniaturisation of autonomous avionics and ground segment interface for lightweight uav applications

Objective

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have been under development for many years. For autonomous flight control integrated air vehicle avionics and ground segment systems are required. These systems are developed over time and are only proven through extensive flight trials. Consequently at the time the UAV has been proven as fit for service, the electronics is out of date, bulky and unnecessarily weighty. It is intended to make use of the latest electronics technology including where possible nano and terahertz technologies to develop a lightweight integrated avionics and control system package. This improved capability will provide more space within the UAV to carry sophisticated payloads and hence increase the economic potential and opportunities for UAV deployment in commercial applications. Applications include forestation monitoring, air, sea and mountain rescue, power line inspection, air sampling, crop surveying, and security surveillance not only within all European countries but also world-wide.
