Applanix Primoco One 150 | Dossier hot gases are rapidly dissipated. That makes the UAV borderline undetectable to IR cameras, particularly when viewed from anywhere other than the rear. “The four-stroke is also quieter than a two-stroke, so the acoustic signature is reduced compared to 2T-powered UAVs,” Fojtik adds. The One 150’s small wingspan also makes its visual silhouette narrow enough that it cannot be seen with the naked eye from more than 1.5 km away. Lastly, it is constructed from fibreglass composite, making it much harder to detect on radar than carbon composite. Combined, these properties give its operators enough confidence to fly over occupied or disputed territories in broad daylight. In the front section of the fuselage, in order from front to back, are a payload bay for retractable gimbals, a recovery parachute enclosure, an electrical accumulator and power distribution box, as well as a second, more central payload bay. The middle section of the airframe has an avionics bay on top with the fuel tank underneath. The engine, alternator and propeller are mounted at the back, and the three landing gear arms and wheels integrate below the hull. Payloads can also be installed on the fuselage’s sides – synthetic aperture radar (SAR) for instance must be sidemounted owing to its long, tubular shape – or mounted inside, with a balancing protocol in the autopilot software compensating if a particular integration upsets the centre of gravity (CoG). Special mission systems Primoco is sensor-agnostic, enabling a variety of gimbals such as EO/IR with 4K HD, NIR, SWIR, MWIR and LWIR (with laser rangefinders and pointers) to be integrated. “We’ve also integrated multi-spectral imagers that blend different IR spectra to find different parameters or targets As an indication of our capabilities, many of our UAVs are in war zones, performing missions through jammed and heavily conflicted airspace Trimble Applanix 85 Leek Crescent, Richmond Hill, ON L4B 3B3 Canada T +1-905-709-4600, F +1-905-709-6027 www.applanix.com airborne@applanix.com More than just an IMU, a complete solution Trimble’s Applanix Direct Georeferencing offers: Powerful hardware and software integrated solutions Industry-leading customer support Reduced costs, improved efficiency of aerial survey
