Mikado Micro UAV
(EMT)
|
A micro UAV (MAV) designed for short missions in urban terrain,
Mikado is currently under development. Weighing only 0.5kg, Mikado
is designed for missions of up to 20 minutes, at a range of 500
meters. It's aerodynamic shape based on delta wings and triple fin
vertical tail, and communications capabilities are optimized for
operation in urban area. The MAV uses a fixed video camera mounted
in ventral blister shaped pod located at the lower aft section of
the fuselage. Mikado is launched by hand and lands at a
pre-designated point by entering a deep stall.
