UAV Systems Development - Challenges for ISTAR Support
DSEi 2011 - Events to be staged in the Robotics and Unmanned Systems Showcase
'UAV Systems Development - Challenges for ISTAR Support is the title of a briefing to be given by Cranfield Universitys Professor Ian Poll. Cranfield Aerospace, a wholly owned subsidiary of the university, has a growing capability in the field of Unmanned Air Systems (UAS), with a proven track record in the development of innovative systems. From 11:45 to 12:30, Tues 13 Sept.
Under the heading 'UAV Hangars in Harsh Climes Sprung Instant Structuress International Sales Manager, Jonathon Fenton, will report on a climate controlled hangar for one of the largest UAVs in operation which has been installed in one of the hottest places on the planet. From 14:00 to 14:30, Tues 13 Sept.
Accumulating flight hours faster than any other mid-endurance UAV System, Insitus ScanEagle UAS is also the most employable, with a mission-readiness record exceeding 99 per cent. In Sustaining Scan Eagle's 500,000 Flight Hours - the Future of Unmanned Missions, Insitus International Business Development Director Steve Tanner reviews this impressive capability between 14:45 and 15:15, Tues 13 Sept.
A demonstration entitled 'Foot Patrol in Afghanistan featuring unmanned air and ground systems, will be staged twice daily at 10:30 and 15:30.
The Robotics and Unmanned Systems Showcase is located in the north west corner of the North Halls - nearest entrance N3.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
