| 2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION |
|
| The training and aerial surveillance system consists of the following main components: |
| The IAR-T Aerial Vehicle: structure from composite materials. The maximum take-off mass is 20 kg, the maximum speed is 180 km/h and the endurance is 30 minutes. IAR-T is powered by a two-stroke engine rated at 4.1 hp / 10000 rpm. |
| The Remote Control System has six channels and allows the control up to 10 km range. |
| The Telemetry System allows real time data acquisition (speed, altitude). |
| The video system sends real time video images , via analog channel, from up to 10 km. |
| The GPS Identification System sends the position of the vehicle relative to a given point. |
| The Programmed Flight System is currently under development and allows the autonomous flight in predefined conditions. |
|
| 3. PURPOSE |
| · aerial surveillance for civil and military destinations (aerial imagery). |
| · inflight scientific research (meteorology, hidrology, environment monitoring). |
| · microgravity test bed. |
| · military training (aerial targets). |
| · airborne laboratory (aerodynamics, flight dynamics, microgravitation). |
| · high risk environment surveillance for civilian purposes (natural and ecological disasters). |
