The HCUAV consortium consists of 6 partners, 3 University Research Groups (LFMT, CSL, LRA) and 3 SMEs (MLS Multimedia, Spacesonic Ltd, Intracom Defense Electronics) and is coordinated by the Laboratory of Fluid Mechanics & Turbomachinery (LFMT) of the Dept. of Mech. Eng. of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.
The Goal
The main project goal is the design and construction of a high-performance civil UAV, appropriately equipped, for long day and night surveillance/patrol operations across segments of Greek borders and over forests.
The Mission
The UAV will be designed for missions primarily focused on:
-Broad area surveillance, on a 24h/7d basis patrol over segments of National borders.
-Forest regions surveillance, on a 24h/7d basis patrol operation.
The Innovation
Innovative hardware components together with clever software algorithms will be included for the performance optimization of flight, control, surveillance and data collection systems to provide a low-cost, high-endurance, long-range and intelligent unmanned aerial surveillance system.
The GCS
A Ground Control Station (GCS) with appropriate instrumentation for controlling, monitoring and post-processing of the real-time collected information will be linked to the UAV.
