HEAVY PAYLOAD MEDIUM ALTITUDE MEDIUM ENDURANCE (MAME) UAV

SPECIFICATIONS:

The basic specification/features of this UAV system are:

Maximum take-off weight of 85 kg

Automatic take-off and landing

Executing autonomous missions (Waypoint trajectory)

Turbine engine - running on Jet-A1, heavy fuel or Diesel.

Ability to lift up to 50 kg state-of-the-art sensors or other equipment incl. fuel.

Flight time up to 3 hours (depending on payload)

Designed to fly up to 10’000 feet above sea level (MSL); silent operation at 120 meters above ground level and above.

ENDURANCE REFERENCE CHART:

Note: At 50 kg full payload capacity, endurance will be around 45 min.

* Variable – endurance also depends on flight mode and existing weather conditions.

PAYLOAD DIMENSIONS:

Boxes installed under the UAV can carry payload within the dimensions: 1000 x 600 x 500 mm

GROUND STATION:

The main control display is providing the following information on the graphical user interface:

Primary flight data (Attitude, speed and distance)

Navigation data (coordinates and position on the map)

Flight Control information (Status, flight mode, engine data)

Alerts (Fuel level, voltage)

The flight control system supports three flight modes:

Manual flight mode for easy flight commands through joystick at the Ground Control Station (GCS), during which the flight control system ensures automatic stabilization.

Mission flight mode allowing the UAV to automatically execute pre-programmed flight trajectories based on pre-programmed waypoints, including automatic take-off and landing and pre-programmed flight figures.

Home mode ensuring that the UAV automatically returns to his predefined home waypoint.

Our UAV is capable of performing automatic take-off and landings, flying predefined missions and carrying the equipment of your choice under variable weather conditions. Missions can be aborted, switched to joystick command, returned to predefined home waypoint, and reprogrammed at any time during flight by simply pushing the respective preprogrammed buttons at the GCS. In the rare event of a data link communication loss during flight, the UAV will automatically return to its predefined home waypoint and will automatically land.

DATA LINK SYSTEM:

The data link system – a secure frequency hopping data link system – is used for two-way radio communication between the UAV and the Ground Control Station. It provides real time digital flight data at the GCS. The digital flight data include, primary flight data, navigation data, autopilot information and alerts.

MAINTENANCE:

The following maintenance intervals are required:

Every 50 hours: Inspection of the overall system and the turbine engine.

200 hour inspection: Replacement of the actuators and transmission oil change.

500 hour inspection: Replacement of the main rotor blades
