MAV Programme at CASDE
Goal :
• Aircraft maximum dimension 60 cm
• Waypoint based navigation
• Videography role
• Endurance of 20 mins
• Operation range < 10 km
• Easy handling
MAV Programme at CASDE
Approach :
• Prove autonomous mission on aircraft < 2 m (Kadet)
• Design aircraft < 0.6 m (max size)
• Optimise avionics for a 0.6 m size aircraft
• Test new aircraft and system
• Perform autonomous mission
Past studies
Instrumented. 2.5 kg, 1.6 m.
2000
Solar. 0.13 kg, 0.25 m.
2002
Videography. 0.9 kg, 0.6 m.
2001
MAV Challenges / Preparations2 kg, 0.6 m Autonomous Video-platform
• Low Reynolds number flows• Wind tunnel balance• Miniaturisation using COTS• Construction methods• Propulsion system (60% weight)• Autonomous missions HILS
Propeller test facility50 gm force.
H/W In Loop Simulator for MAV
• Flight Dynamics & Sensor models• On-board Computer ?• R/C servos • Way Point Navigation
– ADDR – ADDR + GPS
• Out of window display
Problem opened up for C&G specialistsINS-GPS Module, M Tech thesis in EE

Autonomous Flight : 4 Way Points
Future work
User interface for the HILS
GPS simulator : interfacing with onboard computer
Kadet data – Aero, inertia and engine data
Identify sensors for autonomous mission
Test Onboard computer and actuators for autonomous mission
Fly autonomous mission using Kadet
