ground control s t a t i o n & avionics ALPHA UNMANNED SYSTEMS GROUND CONTROL STATION own proprietary technology, is a simple, compact, rugged and easy to carry and deploy GCS. Visionair Mission software is designed with an all-important goal: “Fly the camera, not the UAV”. Visionair software helps avoid distractions unrelated to the main mission, with fully automatic ight where minimal operator input is required. The software is highly intuitive, easy to install in any commercial PC with low hardware requirements, with a similar Windows-style layout and usage, point & click operation with simple menus. Typically a non experienced operator requires less than one week to be fully trained. Visionair can run on any customer maps, such as ortophoto, Google maps, Microsoft live maps, image captures, or specic client maps. The user can select different coordinates (UTM/MGRS/LAT-ON…). Also Digital Elevation Models (DEM) for terrain altitude, precision geo-pointing or low altitude warnings is a feature of the system. Advanced automatic ight modes provides exceptional ease of operation for non-expert operators even during emergencies, communications loss, or adverse meteorological conditions. The GCS includes amongst other capabilities: • Scalable from tablet PC to shelter • Multiple heterogeneous UAV operation, real time data • Network operation, C4 • Syncronized video, telemetry, recording & reproducing • Fully integrated GCS in one compact unit State of the art avionics, allows fully automatic ights, with diverse ight modes such as: • Auto Take Off and Landing (VTOL or precision landing for xed wing) • Flight plan or Fly-to coordinates (up to 16 way points) • Hover or Hold (xed wing) • No communications with the GCS needed (with ight plan loaded) • Failure modes to survive GPS, magnetometer, accelerometer, gyros, power, servos… • Accurate Navigation
