SISUAR - IMINT/UAV SURVEILLANCE AND RECONNAISSANCE SYSTEM

 

Abstract

 

The project IMINT/UAV SURVEILLANCE AND RECONNAISSANCE SYSTEM, acronym SISUAR has the objective to elaborate a specialized security technique with the intention to realize a reconnaissance system based on an autonomous aerial platform, the manufacture of an integrated model system and its testing.

 

The project's aim is to obtain real time images, risk elements identification using image processing techniques, warning generation for the system operator, peculiar interest data communication, in autonomous flight configuration, but also with ground control possibilities in radio visibility radius of 180-200 km. Beyond this distance, the information are stocked onboard and further transmitted or brought to the ground.

 

Based on the specific tactical & technical operation demands and actual norms, will be defined the principle elements necessary to elaborate an applicable technique. The detail configuring, equipments disposal way, integrated hardware and software components. The project approaches are organized on specific domains, platform's command and control system, communication system, image-processing etc.

 

After completing of some tests, mainly with the vital systems using a multipurpose platform available from project's coordinator, it is build and experimented the surveillance system, composed from a ground station and the equipped aircraft. The concept and the design of the platform will take in account the whole accumulated technical specifications, but also to give the possibility to equip the platform in order to extend the capable operational range (BLOS, C2 via satellite capabilities).

 

The project aim is the realization of a single safe system regarding the aircraft's command and control and an efficient telemetry subsystem for data transmission and their processing. The aircraft estimations leads to a maximum take-off weight less than 150 kg, it will have to perform a speed of approx. 200 km/h and will be equipped with rescue parachute. The structure will be made by composite materials with elements that use nanotubes armed structures.

 

The system is addressed to the military and security missions for areas surveillance, the detecting and locating of targets, search and rescue missions, border monitoring, intelligence about enemy's elements arrangement.

 

 

Objectives

 

The general objectives of the project are:

• The elaboration of an integrated technique of aerial surveillance and reconnaissance according with tactical & technical specific norms.
• The realization of a demonstrative model of aerial surveillance and reconnaissance system based on autonomous aerial platform specialized for the following mission types:

• Temporary or permanent surveillance of sensitive areas;

• Search and rescue missions;

• Border monitoring;

• Intelligence about enemy's elements arrangement;

• Detecting, localizing and indicating targets.

• The realization of a competitive communication system.
• The realization of dedicated software for image processing.

 

Objectives that emerge from general objectives:

• Efficiency increasing and manufacturing and operational costs reduction for these systems;
• System integration including satellite positioning and position report;
• The construction of a platform capable to accomplish the specified missions, based on the previous experience.
