C-Astral Bramor RTK

The BRAMOR rTK UAS is ideally suited for surveying and remote sensing applications.

That need a quick and industry leading high precision set of results down to sub-centimeter level also in the absence of a grid of ground control points.

The system is comprised of an air and ground segment, consisting of a state of the art GNSS RTK on board receiver and ground base station, the BRAMOR rTK blended wing body modular airframe with a lot of sensor options, a portable and ergonomic rugged ground control station and catapult launcher. The BRAMOR rTK UAS combines high precision autonomous operations with data acquisition, turbulent air penetration and stability with long endurance.

The BRAMOR rTK is the ultimate high productivity tool for global surveying and remote sensing in very remote and less remote areas, with an industry leading endurance of 2,5 hours, an operational ceiling of 5000m AGL and capable of operating in winds of up to 60km/h. Unrivalled.

The airframe is made of advanced composite materials (Kevlar/Carbon/Vectran) that provide a high level of survivability. A high visibility color scheme, strobe and NAV lights are optional. Embedded autonomous flight procedures include an array of fail-safe options based on man-rated standards.

The system consists of the air vehicle with a 24.3Megapixel COLOR, INFRARED, NDVI, HYPERSPECTRAL, MULTISPECTRAL or GAS Spectrometer sensor, a foldable portable takeoff catapult and rugged ground control station. The whole system fits into two rugged transport cases or a single backpack. The system is flight ready in under five minutes and safely operated by single operator/pilot in command.

Equipped with C-Astral high rate GPS and IMU precision data-logging electronics.

Your processing time will be shortened by the ability to acquire same amount of data and consistent overlaps when flying against or with the wind!

Directly compatible with EnsoMOSAIC, PIEneering, Pix4D, Agisoft Photoscan, Menci Software, or other image processing software solutions.
