AeroVironment Quantix Recon

History of the AeroVironment Quantix Recon

The value of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) deployed on the battlefield has increased significantly over the past 20 years as the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have driven innovation and demand. Military forces around the world Both local and local industries have embraced the idea of ??reducing pilot risk as they explore key areas.

As a result, AeroVironment, Incorporated - a major player in the military and civilian drone industry - has developed its Quantix Farm Measurement Air System into a military-focused form with the "Quantix Recon" quadcopter.

As a "quadcopter", the aircraft can take off and land vertically, so there's no need to prepare runways, open fields, or cumbersome grids to retrieve when the aircraft returns. Quantix Recon is designed with ease of use in mind and requires minimal training in basic system operation.

The aircraft can be deployed in as little as five minutes.

The aircraft is intended for military use for fast, high-quality aerial mapping/surveying, reconnaissance and data collection. The in-vehicle system is ideal for characters with fast processors and high-resolution imaging capabilities that can be downloaded quickly when the vehicle returns. Two 18-megapixel RGB and multispectral cameras are located on the front of the fuselage, forming part of the vehicle's payload and providing up to 4864 x 3648 full color resolution.

The 900 MHz wireless communication feed is fully encrypted and navigation can be based on specific areas, waypoints or linear approximations. Aural detection of the aircraft is greatly reduced through measures to ensure quiet operation.

Takeoff, flight and landing actions are fully automated, with operator control via a touchscreen driven tablet component.

The vehicle has a maximum flight time of 45 minutes from the installed battery pack and a range of more than 20 km. 4 x direct electric motors propel the aircraft in the air and are also used for landing and take-off functions. The maximum operating altitude is 7,500 feet in winds up to 20 mph.
