The Singular Aircraft SA-03 is controlled by a remote station on land, a “Ground Station”. The Ground Station, can be fixed or hosted from a mobile vehicle which moves the system where needed.
The reach of the Ground Station control depends on, among other factors, the altitude of both the ground station and the UAS. In any case the line of sight range is approximately 150 km. in a straight line. At this limit, other stations can take control or signal repeaters can extend the coverage of the device action. The SA-03 can also be operated by satellite without this limitation in the range of control.
The characteristics of the Ground Station HS-03 are impressive when compared to that of any other UAS. It allows bi-directional communication with the UAS, controlling the vehicle’s performance by commands of both the primary flight controls as well as all of its systems, the autopilot, the operation of the payload, sensors, cameras, all while showing their status in real time.
It has all the aircraft and flight controls, switches and four high quality monitors which are divided by function. They display the information replicating the characteristics of a conventional aircraft cabin.
The lower display shows information about the engines and systems of the unit load. The other three are arranged in a screen enclosure, allowing the pilot a full view. Of these, the front shows the image of flight from the nose of the aircraft, giving additional information in print. This image can be fed from a daylight camera. Infrared cameras can be used to give nocturnal vision and synthetic computer representation of the land, based on GIS mapping, by selecting the desired mix level between the three sources. These features allow you to fly at night with visual input similar to day flight.
Side monitors complete the pilot perception up to a three full 270 degree view, surpassing that offered by a conventional aircraft. Furthermore, the source of these monitors can also be selected from other cameras offering combined 360- degree coverage around the aircraft.
