Gimbal – Stabilizing Platform
• Payload sensor “mounts”• Movement counterbalance
at sensorWhy it’s Important• Achieves stability for
sensors• Eliminates vibrations or
“jello” effect• Major improvement on
ability to gather accurate information
• Fixed wing do not require gimbal
![Page 20: Presentation Topics Outline · Software. Unmanned Airborne Systems (UAS) Recent Advances In Drone Technology • Lightweight long-lasting batteries • Lower costs ... safety Specify](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050203/5f567c1bd998352d7a1ebdfb/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Flight Controller
• Brains of the drone (autopilot)
• Help stabilize multi-rotor • Automatically fly with
pre-programed flight including landing and takeoff
![Page 21: Presentation Topics Outline · Software. Unmanned Airborne Systems (UAS) Recent Advances In Drone Technology • Lightweight long-lasting batteries • Lower costs ... safety Specify](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050203/5f567c1bd998352d7a1ebdfb/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Ground Base Station - Navigation
1. Remotely Controlled– First person view
• requires video transmission• “soda straw” view, still high
risk for collision with obstruction (tree branch, power line, etc.)
2. Pre-defined flight plan (auto pilot)
– Accurate digital surface models required
– Fully autonomous - detect, sense, and avoid (DSA) obstacles for collision avoidance
![Page 22: Presentation Topics Outline · Software. Unmanned Airborne Systems (UAS) Recent Advances In Drone Technology • Lightweight long-lasting batteries • Lower costs ... safety Specify](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050203/5f567c1bd998352d7a1ebdfb/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Selecting Fixed Wing or Copter
1. Fixed wing– Efficient for area/site mapping– Typically flies racetrack or “mowing the
yard” patterns– Best for persistent surveillance (orbital
loitering)– Flying relatively high and fast (planes have
a high minimum stall speed)– Great for covering lots of area because
they move so fast– Basically 2D with some ability to extract 3D
information
2. Rotary – helicopter or “multicopter” (ex. quad / hexa / octo copters)
– Best for slow, stabilized collection– Efficient for corridor mapping– High level of accuracy– Able to cover 3D volumes with precise
flight control– Able to move at a speed you dictate— no
minimum stall speed

Advances in Flight Control / Ground Control Software
• Waypoints– Likened to a co-pilot, automatically flies to
a series of set waypoints in the sky at a customizable speed. Angles of camera and flight plan can be adjusted and saved.
• Point of Interest – Automatically flies around a specified
point at a preset height and radius, keeping the point in the center of the frame.
• Follow Me– Follows a beacon signal emitted by a
smartphone. This is intended for use in sports, when the drone follows a target with little or no manual control

Future Trends in Drone Technology
• Consumers– Lower cost– Easier use – more automation– Integration into consumer products
(like Google Earth)• Professionals
– Larger (MP) and better (metric) cameras
– More variety of sensors– Automated and real time data
processing – Persistent surveillance– Solar powered stratospheric platforms
• Technology– Improvements in autonomous
controls• Detect, Sense, and Avoid (DSA)
for collision avoidance• 3D modeling for navigation
– Range imaging– LiDAR
– Standardization of control system and common use between different kinds of UAV
– Improved stabilization– Better fuel cells enabling longer
flight times– Miniaturization - micro UAS– Automated in-flight decision
making and actionable use
