| Zusammenfassung |
| A low-cost Unmanned Aerial Vehicle is compared with those already available
and the motivation for its development is established. It is targeted at
ship-based science missions and potential applications are described
including a specific science case to measure white capping in the deep
ocean. The current vehicle includes a range of more than 1000 Km, carrying a
payload of 2 Kg and it can be launched and recovered from a coastal research
vessel. The vehicle has flown successfully in Force 4 gusting Force 6–7 wind
conditions, an important requirement for operation at sea. Data analysis is
performed on images captured by the vehicle to provide a measurement of wave
period and white capping fraction. The next stage of the project is to
develop a suitable payload and perform a demonstration science mission. |
