UADFS Product Draft

The document describes an Unmanned Aircraft Direction Finding System (UADFS) with the following key features: 1) It uses unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with radio direction finders to locate radio signals between 118-470MHz for search and rescue operations, law enforcement, and interference localization. 2) The UAVs can fly autonomously along pre-programmed flight routes under the control of a ground station and return automatically if communication is lost. 3) The system allows triangulation of radio signals from different positions using the UAVs and provides the location to operators, along with optional camera footage for visual analysis.

Unmanned Aircraft Direction Finding System


Product Draft
All features at a glance
• Unmanned Aircraft Direction Finding System
for search and rescue operations (SAR), law
enforcement activities and localizing of radio
interferences
• Wideband homing on frequencies between
118 and 470 MHz including all relevant
emergency frequencies such as 121.5 MHz,
243 MHz and COSPAS-SARSAT (406 MHz)
• Covers a wide signal detection area due to a
high UAV operation range and a high altitude
• Triangulation by bearing from different
positions
• Optional camera for fast visual analysis of
local situation
• Simple usage due to fully automatic flight
routes programmable by operator
• Automatic take-off, landing and flight control
• Auto return to start position in case of
communication loss with ground station
• Automated landing in case of low battery
• Allows very quick and cost effective mission
execution also at hard weather conditions
