SCR
(Sistemas de Control Remoto)


The SCRAB II

SCR produces the SCRAB and the X-Vision that both use a MicroPilot autopilot.

The SCRAB is a turbine powered aerial jet target that flies at a subsonic speed and is used by the Spanish Navy in battleship exercises. The SCRAB options include, smoke generator, IR flares, laser reflective strips and radar augmentor lenses.

The X-Vision is a short to medium range UAV with an endurance of approximately two hours. Designed for reconnaissance missions, the X-Vision is equipped with video and IR Image on real time.

Ames Research Center

Goddard Space Flight Center

Jet Propulsion Laboratory

Wallops Flight Facility

Langley Research Center


Haughton-Mars Project

Various branches of NASA have used a MicroPilot autopilot in a number of projects.

In the summer of 2002, a MicroPilot technician spent seven days on Devon Island, just south of the Arctic Circle, as part of the Haughton-Mars Project organized by NASA Ames Research Center.

In the fall of 2002, the Iturralde Crater Expedition (ICE 2002), organized by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center used a MicroPilot autopilot in its MAGPLANE -- a small UAV used to collect data on the magnetic signature in and around the Iturralde Crater deep in the Bolivian Amazon.

As well, the MP2028g autopilot is being used by the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory to fly blimps.

In addition, the NASA Wallops Flight Facility is using a MicroPilot autopilot as part of its Jason-1 Mission which will use a micro spectrometer in a small UAV to collect remote sensing data from the ocean along the California coast.

Finally the NASA Langley Research Center under the direction of Dr. Mark Motter, Dynamics and Control Branch, is using the MP2028g autopilot in a research project entitled - High Dimensional Control Flying Testbed.

   

BlueBird Aero Systems


The Blueye

The Blueye

The Blueye TUAV is based on soft-wing patented technology with highly advanced UAV capabilities. The Blueye uses the MP2028g as its autopilot and can perform completely autonomous operation, from takeoff to landing with comprehensive mission control in real time. The Blueye can be deployed in just a few minutes from every field and requires only a two-man team. The Blueye cruises at altitude of up to 6000 ft, with an air speed of 16-40 Knots. It can carry up to 18 kg payload, for up to 9 hours and a range of 50 Km.

The Boomerang

The Boomerang is a man-portable, Catapult or hand launched, electrically powered loitering surveillance and reconnaissance TUAV. The Boomerang uses the MP2028g as its autopilot for full autonomy, from takeoff to recovery. The Boomerang has 2 hours of endurance and is equipped with a high-resolution, stabilized, continuous 360 panning camera.

   

MASS


Helispy VTOL

The HeliSpy is a VTOL (Vertical Take Off Landing) air vehicle that uses the MP2028g autopilot. The HeliSpy has capabilities of both a helicopter and an airplane. The HeliSpy can take off and land vertically and maneuvers laterally like a helicopter. For high speed forward flight, the HeliSpy can be tilted nearly horizontally and in this configuration the main body and the rotor guard act like a wing and the HeliSpy flies in a manner similar to a fixed wing aircraft.

RDMS UAV

The Real-time Dispersion Modeling System Unmanned Arial Vehicle (RDMS UAV) is an 8-foot wingspan model aircraft, equipped with a MicroPilot autopilot.

The RDMS UAV will help the Air Force better understand how rocket exhaust plumes disperse in the atmosphere. The 45th Space Wing Range Safety Office plans to use the small lightweight RDMS UAV to collect chemical and physical data of exhaust from rockets launched at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.

The RDMS UAV will be deployed minutes after rockets are launched to fly autonomously by a MicroPilot autopilot, to preplanned way points that are based on predicted wind fields. Onboard equipment allows the RDMS UAV to transmit RS-232 serial data and broadband video up to 5 miles away. All systems are functional and pilot training is in progress at the Cape's 10,000-ft airstrip.

   

Instituto Nacional de Technica Aeroespacial (INTA)


The ALBA in flight

INTA is a public research institution dependant of the State Secretary of Defense of Spain. The Institute is dedicated to aerospace research and space science as well as to the technological development in other industrial areas. Its mission is to foster R+D projects as well as to provide technical and scientific support to institutions as well as to the Spanish and international Industry.

INTA has developed the ALBA, which is a lightweight propeller driven aerial target outfitted with four IR Flares and four Smoke Flares per flight (mounted on external pods) that can be ignited simultaneously or in a free sequence. In collaboration between INTA and SCR, the ALBA is being retrofitted by SCR to include a MicroPilot autopilot.
