Flights Illustrate Increased Maneuverability And Improved
Handling In Winds
The Argus One UAV, equipped with a newly developed pod bay and
integrated propulsion unit, has successfully completed a series of
flight tests in preparation for upcoming flight tests and
demonstrations at the Oklahoma Training Center - Unmanned Systems
in Lawton, Oklahoma and the U.S. Department of Energy Nevada Test
Site. The flight tests were conducted under tower control at Easton
Airport by WSGI's technical partner Eastcor Engineering
("ECE").
Argus One developer World Surveillance Group said the newly
developed pod bay was re-designed and constructed with new
electronics, a more powerful propulsion unit and improved propeller
functionality for better handling and maneuverability. It is
outfitted with proprietary electronics, including custom built
PC-boards running newly developed command and control software that
was designed specifically for the Argus One UAV platform. The pod
bay continues to be designed to be "plug and play" for swift and
easy integration of different payloads for various airship
applications and missions.
The recent flight exercises in Maryland included various tests
on the newly developed pod bay and integrated propulsion system.
The Argus One airship was flown and monitored for two hours with no
evidence of fatigue or stress resulting from the integration of the
new pod bay and propulsion system. In these flight test exercises,
the Argus One airship demonstrated significantly more
maneuverability and an improved ability to withstand the winds
while aloft.
