LEICA RCD30 FOR UAV
LEICA RCD30 FOR UAV
The document discusses the growing demand for UAV-based mapping solutions, highlighting the collaboration between Leica Geosystems and Swissdrones. This partnership offers a reliable and certified solution for accurate geospatial information through the Leica RCD30 camera and Swissdrones Dragon UAV.
The Leica RCD30 is a medium format camera known for its superior multispectral imagery and high accuracy. It is designed for standalone or oblique mapping and can be integrated with LiDAR sensors. The camera is suitable for use with UAVs like the Swissdrones Dragon, making it ideal for local mapping, corridor applications, mining, and agriculture.
The Swissdrones Dragon UAV comes in two models: Dragon 35 and Dragon 50. Both feature Flettner Dual Rotors and are powered by different engines (petrol for Dragon 35 and diesel/Jet A1 for Dragon 50). They offer significant payload capacities (35 kg and 50 kg, respectively) and have a maximum endurance of up to 4 hours depending on configuration and payload.
The CGS is a portable unit with redundant power supply, capable of operating for 3 hours on battery. It features dual monitors, joysticks for control, and a data link with a range of 50 km. The system supports various autopilot functions and provides real-time data on flight parameters.
The camera offers high-resolution imagery with CCD sizes of 60MP and 80MP, and a dynamic range of 73 dB. It supports RGB and NIR spectral ranges and includes mechanical motion compensation. The camera controller can manage up to five camera heads and includes a GNSS/IMU solution.
The Leica RCD30 complies with several international standards, including RTCA DO-160G and EUROCAE-14E, ensuring its reliability and safety in various operational environments.
