MAV Programme at CASDE
Goal :
• Aircraft maximum dimension 60 cm
• Waypoint based navigation
• Videography role
• Endurance of 20 mins
• Operation range < 10 km
• Easy handling
MAV Programme at CASDE
Approach :
• Prove autonomous mission on aircraft < 2 m (Kadet)
• Design aircraft < 0.6 m (max size)
• Optimise avionics for a 0.6 m size aircraft
• Test new aircraft and system
• Perform autonomous mission
Past studies
Instrumented. 2.5 kg, 1.6 m.
2000
Solar. 0.13 kg, 0.25 m.
2002
Videography. 0.9 kg, 0.6 m.
2001
MAV Challenges / Preparations2 kg, 0.6 m Autonomous Video-platform
