INTEGRATED DYNAMICS flight
control and autopiloting systems employ the latest in
micro-electronics and guidance technology. Advanced features and
reliable performance are offered in surprisingly powerful and
affordable avionics packages. Four models are offered, ranging
from simple two-axis electronic stabilization to fully
autonomous, GPS-based integrated flight control systems. |

The AP- 2000 is specially designed for
flight control of low-cost or expendable UAV's and aerial targets.
The AP-2000 system offers superior performance without the
complexity and cost normally associated with full-blown UAV
autopilot systems. The autopilot provides conventional wing
leveling, and height- lock features in a compact package and is easy
to calibrate, with its AUTOTRIM feature, for a variety of airframes. |

The AP-5000 provides the conventional wing
leveling and height lock features of the AP-2000 with the addition
of a GPS-based return-home and heading module in a compact package
which is easy to calibrate for a variety of airframes not requiring
the learning-curve of more complex auto-piloting systems. |

IFCS-6000 (Integrated Autonomous Flight Control
System) |
 |
|
The IFCS-6000 provides precise and stable flight
control that greatly simplifies UAV flight operaton. By utilizing
'Smart’ electronics, solid-state gyros and inertial sensors, our
IFCS- |
6000 system offers superior performance
without the complexity and cost normally associated with competing
UAV autopilot systems. Total solid-state design significantly
reduces electrical power requirements while increasing reliability
and performance. |
 |
 |
|
A variety of airframe types can be
accommodated without complicated adjustments and calibration usually
required with conventional autopilot systems. The IFCS-6000 accepts
command inputs from a laptop PC allowing UAV's to operate
autonomously or under remote operator control. Latitude, longitude,
speed, heading, altitude, time, date, and waypoint |
|
status, as well as video imagery, can all be continuously
transmitted via data downlinks to
ground control stations . Ground
display requirements are minimal and require no more than a simple
PC or laptop computer. |
| |
| Multiple control I/O is
supported by allowing sensor data to be displayed using INTEGRATED
DYNAMICS unique SENSORVIEW software. |

IFCS-7000 (Integrated Autonomous Flight Control
System) |
 |
|
The IFCS-7000 is INTEGRATED DYNAMICS next-generation UAV flight control system designed for military
users. It incorporates all the features of the IFCS-6000 and
provides |
|
the added versatility of a 6DOF
Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and GPS/INS interface. Sensor
outputs can be viewed using our SENSORVIEW software. The IFCS-7000 also allows interfacing of payloads and on-board systems into a
compact ‘smart’ electronics package and makes the UAV more
intelligent by performing demanding tasks without external operator
intervention. The IFCS-7000 also provides interface data for
controlling our ATPS-1200 and
ATPS-2000 Antenna Tracking &
Positioning Systems. The IFCS-7000 is a low cost integrated flight
control system incorporating navigation, stability, and control.
These capabilities include airspeed hold, altitude hold, turn
coordination, GPS navigation, autonomous |
 |
| takeoff and landing (with the LARS-1700 Auto-Land system). Extensive data logging and manual overrides are also supported, as is a highly functional command buffer. All feedback loop gains and flight parameters are user programmable. Expansion options, in the form of several customized modules, are available. A PC based mission simulator is also available for the IFCS-7000. |
 |
|
|
 |
|
The IFCS-6000 and IFCS-7000 share the following
common features: |
 |
| Completely autonomous operation |
| Auto takeoff and land capability* |
| 3 microprocessors and dual sensors for
increased redundancy** |
| On-the-Fly mission changes** |
| Includes all sensors required for
complete airframe stabilization, control and navigation |
| Surface Mount components used for
reduced size and increased reliability |
| Multiple waypoint GPS navigation linked
to INS/IMU** |
| Manually piloted, Manually directed and
autonomous flight modes |
| Supports flaps, flaperons, elevons,
v-tail, split rudders, and flap/aileron mixing |
| User programmable feedback gains and
flight parameters |
| Low battery warning both on the ground
and in flight |
| User programmable error handlers for
loss of GPS signal, loss of RC signal, loss of data link,low battery
voltage. |
| 6 DOF IMU . |
| 3 Rate Gyros & 3 accelerometers. |
