Small electric < 7kg MTOW Fixed Wing (FW) Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) for Broad-Area (600 – 1500 hectares a mission to cm resolution), short-range (1-10km) survey and mapping solution. Development The GosHawk™ 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 surveying and mapping (color or multispectral) via a belly mounted hi-res camera. The images can be processed post-flight to produce cm accurate color/multispectral mosaics. When used in conjunction with other tiers of mini-RPAS, such as the Seeker 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 brochure for more information). Description Airframe Developed using collision safe materials this hi-wing 3 axis aircraft provides a stable camera platform for airborne imaging operations < 400ft AGL. Thrust is provided by a rear mounted electric power plant. Cameras are located in the nose and belly. Airframe is a mix of impact optimized energy-absorbing EPP and EPO. Mission payloads The GosHawk™ in the survey configuration carries hi-res 24 (optional 36) megapixel color camera with on-board storage for post flight processing. A multi-spectral payload can also be fitted for environmental survey or agricultural applications. The GosHawk™ platform comes with an optional fixed pilot view optical sensor for day operations to assist with general situational awareness. GosHawk™ utilizes V-TOL proprietary auto-pilot software known as “V-TOL Neuron™”.
