Current activities
Fixed-wing UAV applications for VLoS & BVLoS operations
Experiments with „home-made“ navigation systems
Embedded electronics for special use
We further pay attention to:
- Long-distance communication for video and telemetry exchange - suited for BVLoS operation
- Indoor UAS navigation
- Robust navigation systems with increased accuracy - operating even in GNSS unreliable environment
