Payloads – FlightWave Aero

Both the Edge UAS and the Jupiter UAS use the twist-lock payload connector. The weather tight seal is connected in seconds with a twist, no tools required… Payloads can be removed and swapped in seconds. Payloads are interchangeable between airframes for a full ecosystem. The twist-lock system is available open source, to the public, to allow anyone the ability to design the next new sensor and fly on any FlightWave system.

OVERWATCH GIMBAL

Our primary configuration offers dual channel electro-optical infrared (EOIR) capabilities on a gimbal-stabilized platform. Two cameras collect video in color and infrared, each writing full resolution to an on-board SD-card while sending a compressed video stream to the ground for real-time insight. The color camera records detailed 4k-30fps video, and the infrared camera records at 640x512 at 9fps (30fps available with special request). When streaming to the ground, they can be digitally zoomed as much as 6.5x. A unique feature of the FlightWave Overwatch Gimbal is its ability to pan continuously through 360degrees.

MAPPING ARRAY

Our Mapping Array features three simultaneously triggered 13MP CMOS cameras, which together collect 39MP of image data at up to 5 frames per second. These images are saved to an innovative onboard removable storage card that can write up to 1TB of data at over 1400MB per second. The cameras are configured to most optimally sample a 100 meter wide image at 1cm per pixel, when flying 100 meters above the ground. When flying at Edge's nominal cruise speed of 15m/s with industry-standard overlap setting, this means you will be able to cover over 1600acres of land in one flight of 90 minutes.

COLIBRI 2

The Colibri2 Dual Channel Electro-Optical Infrared (EOIR) camera is gimbal-stabilized allows for up to 20x optical zoom for day missions and a 640x480 pixel thermal imager for night missions. Switch between the color camera and infrared camera view directly from the controller. Manual pan and tilt control is available for reconnaissance and target acquisitions. The Colibri also features vision-based object tracking in both day and night missions for faster more accurate gimbal movements, allowing you to stay on target.
