Small electric < 7kg MTOW Fixed Wing (FW) Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) for low level (<400 ft AGL), short-range (<7km) day/night live streaming surveillance platform.
Powerline
Development
The Condor™ platform has been developed by V-TOL Aerospace to provide a low-cost, easy to use and reliable extended line-of-sight (LOS) ready mini-RPAS capable of conducting surveillance (color or thermal) via a belly mounted camera. The video footage is streamed to the Ground Control Station (GCS) live, while the footage is also recorded on board for post-flight analysis or evidence retention. When used in conjunction with other tiers of small-RPAS, such as the Goshawk or Hornet multi-rotor systems, the Goshawk™ can provide broad area coverage while the VTOL system can be deployed to identify a specific target of interest to mm resolution (see Hornet and Goshawk brochures for more information).
