Multirotor system
The ELIX-XL is a small, man-portable, ruggedized Vertical Take-Off and Landing Unmanned Aerial system designed to capture and transmit high quality digital video.
The ELIX-XL is designed as a complete solution, capable of handling exterior reconnaissance flights. Autonomous capabilities and simple navigation and camera control makes it possible for anyone to fly ELIX- XL with only a few houres of training.
Automatic take-off and landing enables the operator to focus on tasks at hand and enables the unite to be launched without any launch mechanism and land without a landing pad.
With a snap together, tool-less assembly, the system is easy man-portable and capable of rapid deployment.
The ELIX-XL is a modular multicopter system. Hardware and software are developed and tested by ELI Military Simulations. ELIX-XLsystem offers a wide range of different capabilities like:
Real time video from two gyro stabilized onboard cameras(Sony and Flir)
On board video recorder
Fully autonomous flight control including takeoff and landing
Autonomous mission execution with option to change all parameters during flight
Ability to selec active waypoints and/or change waypoint coordinates and parameters
Different preprogrammable flight patterns
Definable actions in case of errors and loss of data link (Return Home, Proceed with Mission, Emergency landing after critical error etc.)
Multi sensor usage
Low noise and weak radar footprint
Controllable navigation lights
The system consists of two main parts - autonomous air vehicle and the human operated ground segment - Ground Control Station. ELIX-XL is a multi-purpose UAV system that can be used in various scenarios, for example:
border patrol
reconnaissance/observation
aerial photography
geophysical prospecting
disaster monitoring
coastguard service
day/night reconnaissance
battlefield monitoring
target positioning
battlefield damage and casualty assessment
The UAV can be operated in various environmental conditions in a wide temperature range (-20°...+50°C). The system is designed with the latest technology to provide high functionality. with low pricing. ELIX-XL multirotor set is packed into military grade backpack and is carried/ operated by one person.
The ELIX-XL takes off and lands automatically. Operator has to designate a landing area on the map if it differs fro takeoff point.
