Using traditional methods, a complete system redesign is required for similar transfer. Instead, the subject technology provides adaptation in real time to the configuration changes. The effort was operated under contract by GST with the cooperation and support of several sponsors at SRS using a GST Model 300 outfitted with the R-1 Avionics Package. A full range of sensors was flown by the system, including a 2-channel infrared thermometer, a radiation survey instrument, a magnetometer, and a color video camera. This unmanned helicopter with fully automatic flight controls is flight proven and available to perform surveillance, patrol, environmental monitoring, agricultural and mapping tasks, and to perform in disaster response or for special operations.
Modular design allows a system to be configured for specific mission requirements and budgets.
In addition, the avionics are directly transportable to other platforms, and an open architecture allows for user development of software for research and development purposes, or for integration of special mission equipment. GST offers a full range of products and accessories for this unmanned system, as well as field operation services or hands-on operational training. The technology for low cost fully automatic miniature unmanned helicopter operations is here today, call to arrange for a flight demonstration with an application specific payload of interest to you.
