5.12.2012 ESTGIS 2012 Priit Leomar 7

SYSTEM CAPABILITIES •Real time video from gyro stabilized gimbal

•On board video recorder

•Stabilized digital photo camera

•Fully autonomous flight control including takeoff and landing

•Autonomous mission execution with option to change all parameters

during flight

•Ability to select active waypoints and/or change waypoint coordinates and

parameters

•Different preprogrammable flight patterns

•Definable actions in case of errors and loss of data link (Return Home,

Proceed with Mission, Emergency landing after critical error etc.)

•Multi sensor usage

•Fast and easy takeoff by catapult

•Low noise and weak radar footprint

•Controllable navigation lights

MAIN COMPONENTS OF UAV SYSTEM SWAN III

• 1. Ground segment – GCS (Ground

Control Station) – Catapult for

launching the UAV – Antenna tracker for

video link

• 2. Air segment – Air vehicle
