Remote Sensing Skywaker Airelectronics has developed a new complete solution meeting the needs of the farming science. The completely test Skywalkerplatform has been equipped with both thermal and multispectral cameras to measure breeding parameters, and the system has been adapted to match the remote sensing requirements. Remote sensing of fields is helping farmers all around the world improving their breeding yields. Measuring the plants growing state and the influence of water in them can help choosing the best seed for each field, considering soil substratum and other environmental characteristics. The Thermal camera on board the Skywalker measure the water stress of the plants, meanwhile the combined information of the thermal andmultispectral cameras provide the NDVI (Normalized Differential Vegetation Index). To make this information compiling process easier, Airelectronics has developed and integrated some tools into its system, such as flight plan pattern designer and imagegeoreference data. Using a standard computer, the user can design the flight plan, defining a zone to flyover and letting the software define thewaypoints. As in all Airelectronics systems, the user can modify the mission in real time,thanks to the U-Pilot flight control system and the U-See software. The operator doesn't need any previous flight experience and it is not even necessary to have a manual joystick because the system can fly 100% in automatic mode: from the take-off to the landing. In case of a communications problem the plane will came back home and land safely. The plane is based in COTS materials(Commercial off-the-shelf) and has been adapted to became a complete UAV. Due to the fact than the plane has been built using composites and EPO its weight is really low(1.3 kg without the payload) it is really easy to hand launch it and to land it: any operator can do it, even without any previous skill, and it will land on its fuselage without big damage in almost any terrain.UAV Remote Sensing Skywalker.

Remote Sensing Skywaker The brain for the plane is the Airelectronics' U-Pilot flight control system, which is embedded inside the plane's fuselage, leaving a lot of space on board to install a payload. Being based in FPGA technology, U-Pilot's configurability and flexibility is unsurpassed and the advanced sensor mixture using extended Kalman filtering assures an optimal attitude and navigation control. Its control laws has been optimized for the control of the electric motor the UAV Skywalkeruses, having automatic modes that take advantage of the energy present in the atmosphere:The plane...
