CICONIA

Unmanned aerial system "Ciconia" is autonomous distance-controlled UAV for different tasks of the aerial reconnaissance, patrolling, mapping of the area with the
possibility of actual information transfer in the real-time mode.

In this system is realized the conception of automatized control during all flight, which makes the job of an operator much easier and allows focusing attention on the analysis of information that comes from the UAV.

UAV control is carried out through the encrypted digital radio channel, which allows receiving telemetry data during all period of the flight. An operator can trace the location of UAV on the satellite maps, correct the route, operate with a payload and give other commands to UAV. In the case of signal suppression, the UAV is able to continue the autonomy flight, return and make landing in the programmed point.

UAV has the special anti-electronic warfare system which recognizes intentional interference environment (GPS blocking/spoofing) and automatically switches to SINS/AHRS inertial mode.

UAV can take-off in radio silence mode in order to make it impossible to determine the place of takeoff. The operator can switch on and off video transmission at any time.

UAV has good wind resistance parameters and can be used at 20 m/s wind speed. Flight radius is 50 km (total route distance 100km), endurance time is 2,5 hours on condition of air temperature from +50С to +350С, wind speed 10 m/s.

«DEVIRO flight control center software» makes it easy to plan and simulate mapping mission. Mission planning takes place in a visual mode, the software will warn if exceeded the maximum length of the route. Flight control center provides the tools for quick access to the payload control functions, mission correction, emergency options. During the flight, the operator receives detailed information about the UAV and about the environment.
