The world’s smallest and most advanced helicopter surveillance system

The HORNET UAS is a unique surveillance system designed to support close-range reconnaissance missions during tactical operations in cluttered urban terrain. Instrumented with Adaptive Flight’s FCS20 Advanced Flight Control System, the HORNET UAS is so advanced that it is easy to operate. Take-off is a simple button-push. Fly with a standard game controller or preprogram the flight on the Ground Control Station. Navigate close to buildings. Simulate complete missions in advance.

The HORNET UAS is unlike anything you have ever seen.

THE FUTURE OF UAV FLIGHT CONTROL TECHNOLOGY

The FCS20 Integrated Flight Control System is designed to enable advanced behavior in small UAVs. With roughly 2 GFLOPS of processing power, the FCS20 is capable of expanding mission capabilities beyond what is possible with traditional UAV autopilots. The credit card sized system has been integrated into a wide range of vehicles and proven itself as a reliable and highly capable flight control solution. Adaptive Flight Inc. is excited to offer this unique product to the UAV industry.

FCS20 / CMOS Image Sensor Evaluation and Development System

The FCS20 / CMOS Image Sensor Evaluation and Development System consist of hardware and software that allows flight control and image processing applications to be developed, tested and integrated. The baseline hardware system consists of an Adaptive Flight FCS20 embedded processor, sensor board and an Omnivision OV5610 5.17 megapixel color CMOS image sensor array. FCS20 embedded software will vary and is dependent upon the configuration chosen which may include flight control, image processing or both. Windows based evaluation, simulation, debug and development software will vary based upon the FCS20 configuration chosen.

The FCS20 image processing configuration comes with a FCS20 embedded processor, sensor board, Omnivision OV5610 5.17 megapixel color CMOS image sensor array and an Analog Devices NTSC driver card. The image processing API software for the FCS20 allows a user to immediately begin capturing and processing images from the Omnivision CMOS image sensor. The image processing API is configured to allow read/write access to all of the OV5610 registers and is setup to use the OV5610 special product feature for windowing, zooming and panning images within the 5.17 megapixel sensor array. A windows based demo application, AppImage is included that allows a user to immediately window, zoom, pan and capture images from the image sensor and display them on a windows based PC. Image output is available from serial, ethernet or NTSC output. Jtag emulator connections are provided for direct access to the TI DSP and the Altera Stratix II FPGA for advanced development.
