This is another instance where ASTECH pushed the envelope in new & different directions to come up with a revolutionary Flight Control System that is unlike anything currently available. Our goal was to design a low-cost system that would greatly simplify the manual control of UAVs for remote operators to the point that it would be as easy as driving a car-- throughout the entire flight envelope (from takeoff to touchdown). Automation would be used to the maximum extent possible to minimize operator workloads, prevent operator-induced errors, protect against limit exceedences, while helping to ensure mission success. And this system has applicability to many other applications besides UAVs. Would this system be applicable to your particular situation? We may be able to help. A functional block diagram of the UAV Manual FCS is summarized below. Enjoy. Note: To keep the detail & maintain the flow, scrolling may be required. Sorry for any inconveniences.
