Modular Design

AII MERA’s components are easily removable and completely interchangeable.

Booms are folding and MERA folds down to a ~25cm box, in a split of a second. Assembly and fastening is tool free and all bolds and subsystems require a minimum of toolset during maintenance. Despite its large disk area, the disassembled UAS features an ergonomic design in order to capture the less possible volume during transportation. ln the same concept, all components from Avionics to Payload can be individually removed for replacement, update or inspection. Carefully Chosen COTS parts, like cabling and connectors ensure ample availability in any circumstance.

Advanced Autopilot System

For our Unmanned Systems we choose the Ardupilot Autopilot Suite, which is an advanced autopilot Eco-system designed uppon open-hardware & Software. The entire package is designed to be easily approachable for the novice, while remaining open-ended for custom applications, education, and research use.

Hardware

The choice of compatible controller is based on your needs, expandabil ity and robustness. Our primary choice on fully featured packages is the latest Pixhawk 2 “CUBE” Autopilot wich offers:

  • An integrated, single board / box flight controller.
  • Sufficient 1/0 for most applications without expansion.
  • lmproved ease-of-use.
  • lmproved sensor performance.
  • lmproved microconτroller resources.
  • lncreased reliability and reduced integraτion complexity.
Firmware

The “skill set” code running on the hardware, which configures it for the kind of vehicle you’ve put ίt in. Υου choose the firmware and vehicle that match your mission:

The choice is yours – one autopilot for any mission. An easy firmware update is all it takes to repurpose your hardware into a different role.

Software

Your interface to the hardware.

  • lnitial set-up, configuration, and testing. Mission-planning / operation, and post-mission analysis.
  • Point-and-click intuitive ιnteraction with your hardware, or advanced custom scripting for niche mission profiles. Options are everything with ArduPilot
