Abstract :
This work describes the development of a multipurpose aerial platform using UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) for tactical surveillance of maritime vessels. By means of a portable control station on the vessel, UAV can be remotely operated. The aircraft is a gas prop medium sized high wing UAV, pusher configuration, wingspan of 4.5 meters, 98 kg MTOW (Maximum Takeoff Weight), flight autonomy of 8 hours (typical) and cruise speed of 100 km/h. The UAV design uses a modular concept, in terms of payload and airframe.
