An unmanned aerial system (UAS) under development by Wirth Research (Oxfordshire, UK) for long-endurance missions will have vertical take off and landing (VTOL) capability. The advanced terrain mapping drone can carry diverse payloads, making it of value in applications such as precision agriculture, pipeline and cable inspection for utilities, surveillance and other security-related tasks, in addition to detection and monitoring support for ordnance clearance operations.

Wirth engineers are working to meet the requirements of VTOL capability, 6 hour mission endurance, packaging a bulky payload mass, and providing that payload with hundreds of watts of continuous electrical power. Solving these issues has required extensive use of the company’s Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technology and will demonstrate that Wirth Research’s UAS technology has almost limitless application across multiple sectors.

This UAS system can be adapted to carry and power a variety of sensors including stereo high-resolution gimbaled optical cameras, high-resolution infra-red sensors, LIDAR imagers, and ground penetrating radar sensors.
