UAV technology has proven itself one of the most valuable elements in observation and surveillance missions. UAV technology, along with the use of thermal and visual cameras, provides all the information needed when working in dangerous scenarios, such as night operations or hazardous zones.
Airelectronics systems have been designed to handle this missions and all the elements involved in them. The new U-Station, developed for this purpose, manages both the real time video feed and telemetry link, meanwhile its single enclosure with the integrated battery system makes the whole system easily transportable and really quickly to deploy.
U-See software is capable of manage the video stream itself, with no need of third software running on the computer.
U-Camera is a gyrostabilized payload suitable for small and medium sized uavs. Designed to be small and lightweight it can be integrated in hand-launched vehicles.
The STAMP payloads are miniature, lightweight, electro-optical, stabilized, airborne sensors which are designed to be carried by a miniature UAV, for tactical "Over-the-Hill" reconnaissance in daylight and / or at night.

Tau 640: an incredibly small thermal imaging camera with 17-micron pixel pitch, and VGA resolution.
This is the heart of our system, as it is the on-vehicle hardware. We produce it in two distinct variants: The fixed wing and rotary wing hardware
Slim version of U-Pilot suitable for small airplanes. It's also produced in two variants: The fixed wing and rotary wing hardware
U-Station provides stable video and data links due to its antenna set integrated in a single device that allows an easy deployment and pointing.
U-See is capable of handling video streams and will add the information about the pointed location over the video.
Remote sensing refers to the acquisition of information about something without actually making any physical contact with it. This technique is commonly used in various areas, such as in forestry, agriculture, and environmental applications like desertification, soil erosion, and water quality. Remote sensing has been proven very successful in the agriculture area, providing accurate information about the plants physiological status and water stress condition.
For these purposes, thermal and multi/hyper-spectral cameras are widely used, acquiring spectral information the visible and near-infrared ranges. With the combination of information from different spectral bands, the user is able to retrieve valuable data regarding the plant status and stress levels, using indicators such as the Normalized Differential Vegetation Index NDVI,Photochemical Reflectance Index (PRI), chlorophyll indices, and water stress indicators.
Remote sensing technology enables the study of soil, plants and water properties from unmanned aerial vehicles, reducing the cost of operation.
Airelectronics brings its own experience providing U-Pilot capable of managing Thermal / Multi / Hyper-Spectral cameras, triggering the systems fully synchronized or sequentially, as required. The images are saved onboard, while the telemetry is sent to the U-Ground to generate a file including imagery geolocation and vehicle attitude information. U-See software also provides a flightplan generator that will automatically design a flightplan to overfly a defined area.
This information is provided through a software specifically designed to manage the remote sensing imagery acquisition along with auxiliary data, enabling the generation of fully calibrated orthomosaics. The remote sensing imagery of the selected study areas can be processed to calculate indices such as NVDI, PRI, TCARI/OSAVI and thermal-related water stress indicators such as CWSI, among others.
With low weight and low power consumption Miricle is ideal for applications such as UAV, man-portable surveillance, driver aids and enhanced vision systems for aircraft.
Headwall's Hyperspec VNIR family of integrated hyperspectral imaging sensors provides the foundation for utilizing hyperspectral imaging to achieve superior spectral sensing and chemical imaging results for the mission.
The primary use of this product is the recording vegetation canopy reflectance. The resulting image is suitable for derivation of several vegetation indices.
Mini-MCA is a configurable spectroscope able to detect vegetation in varying states of health or distinct stages of growth.

The ground hardware will interface to your antennas and PC (running our software) to be able to interface with the on-board hardware
U-Mosaic software uses the data from U-Pilot and U-See to project the taken pictures on the ground. This tool makes possible to analyze the data and detect any errors prior to the processing with third party software.
With the purchase of our ground software you buy a license to use the software in any computer you want (under MacOS X, Windows or Linux). You are limited to use the program in only one computer at a time, as we use a USB dongle that will check the license.
The image processing chain is provided by a dedicated software that conducts all the required calibrations and data calculations. The software performs the radiometric calibration,atmospheric correction and image stitching to obtain fully calibrated mosaics, and vegetation index calculation.
Using the position and attitude data provided by the Airelectronics flight control systems, conventional photos can be used to produce 2D orthomosaic maps and 3d models of big areas.
U-Pilot manages the camera trigger, meanwhile U-Ground and U-See are collecting telemetry. After the flight is completed, U-See software will generate a data file with the positional information of the photos that had been taken, in order to provide this information to a PC software that will generate the map of the overflown zone.
Airelectronics suggest some software and cameras that have been proven to work successfully, but any other camera/software combination can be used (U-Pilot can handle a large number of triggering system and U-See uses standard formats to export the geopositioning and attitude information).
U-See software has some features specifically designed for this kind of application, such as the flightplan generator, that will make a lot easier to design a flightplan for big study areas or the shotting interval configuration, providing the ability to adapt the timming to the altitude and speed of the flight.
These maps provide valuable information for many applications, such as mining, topography, agriculture or aerial imagery.
