The microdrones are AUMAV (Autonomous Unmanned Micro Aerial Vehicle) designed to perform tasks in 

the field of documentation, coordination, exploration, surveying, communication, inspection and 

observation. They are miniaturised VTOL-aircraft (Vertical Take Off and Landing) based on the 

quadrocopter principle. Every microdrone can fly by radio link command & control or autonomously with 

the aid of our GPS Waypoint navigation system 

Thanks to the unique AAHRS (Attitude, Altitude and Heading Reference System) even completely 

inexperienced pilots can learn to fly the microdrones in a very short time. Usually a beginner is able to 

control the microdrone after less than one hour of training. 

A modular payload concept allows us, to flexibly adapt the equipment to the intended mission. The 

availability of a high resolution digital still camera, several video solutions adapted to very different lighting 

conditions and also a high-end thermography heat imaging systems ensures the capability to carry out 

miscellaneous tasks of image recording and image broadcasting. 

The basic system consists of the microdrone with batteries, C&C and payloads in its transport box as well as 

the basestation suitcase. 

microdrones' second product is the md4-l 000 which is on the market since late 2009.
