Compact and easily deployable unmanned aircraft which is suitable for operations in difficult terrain in short amount of time. It is the first in Indonesia and we are one of the first who successfully built tube launched UAV in the world. The UAV is stored in a tube so it is easy to transport, and we can launch multiple aircraft almost simultaneously without runway needed. We also built coordinated relay system, so we can control multiple UAVs and extend the communication range.
Story : There are several problems on current UAV
- Transporting UAV require large space
- Launching UAV need a runway or a launching gear which need to be installed and uninstalled on site
- Limited range of communication, especially in terrain with many obstacles like hills
Our team built tube launched folding wing UAV with coordinated relay system to solve above problems. THe UAV can be stored in a tube which make it easy to carry and transport. The pneumatic launch system which integrated with the tube make it easy to deploy it with less effort to install and launch it. Furthermore, coordinate relay system multiply range of communication by deploying multiple UAV and each of them communicate with each other.
Result : Won 2nd Place in Aerial Robotics Contest, by Ministry of Research, Technology, and High Education 2017; Publish a paper in International Conference of Intelligent Unmanned System (ICIUS) 2018.
