MICRO-ROTOCRAFT SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM

摘要

A flying micro-rotorcraft unit (18, 24, 310, 330, 370) is provided for remote tactical and operational missions. The unit (18, 24, 310, 330, 370) includes an elongated body (52) having an upper and a lower end. The body (52) defines a vertical axis (60). The unit (18, 24, 310, 330, 370) further includes a navigation module (54) including means for determining a global position of the elongated body (52) during flight of the unit (18, 24, 310, 330, 370). Rotor means of the unit (18, 24, 310, 330, 370) is coupled to the upper end of the elongated body (52) for generating a thrust force that acts in a direction parallel to the vertical axis (60) to lift the elongated body (52) into the air. The rotor means is located between the elongated body (52) and the navigation module (54).
