Sense and Avoid Sensors for sUAV

Detect, Sense and Avoid for sUAV Small UAS of the size 55-lbs provides to consumers opportunities ranging from indoor to outdoor applications, such as aerial video-photography, land mapping, and surveying, or delivering packages. The payload size, weight, and power (SWaP) is an essential constraint that forces designers to miniaturize cooperative and non-cooperative sensors needed for sense and avoid (SAA) functionality. Compact, lightweight and low-cost sensors such as the Industrial Millimeter-wave (mmWave) Sensor offers the mean to detect, sense and avoid objects that are threats or targets. Industrial mmWave Technical Specifications and Operations Texas Instrument (TI) millimeter wave (mmWave) sensor, integrates RF processing, calibration, high-speed ADC, microcontroller (MCU), digital signal processing (DSP) and memory on a single complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) monolithic chip, which accurately reports range, velocity and angle between the sensors and object...

ASView Control Station Analysis

ASView Control Station Analysis       Autonomous unmanned system design must withstand the loss of communication with the sea or ground control station since the vehicle follows a pre-programmed mission. However, equally important is the fact the Control Station (CS) should in real-time identify where the vehicle is located, its speed, its environments and the execution of the mission payload. The operator must also, be able to take over the command and the control of the vehicle or to override the mission if required. The autonomous surface vehicle the ASVGlobal manufactures encompasses the above characteristics, and the company has designed a control system that provides control mode that includes remote mode, automatic and autonomous mode to ensure the operation navigation safety.        ASV Unmanned Marine Systems, an industry leader in research and development of Autonomous Surface Vehicle (ASV) manufactures ASView control...
