The Future of RC: UAV - Unmanned Aerial
Vehicles
11/05/2007
In
the following links you are going to see the future of RC. I
found
an article, in The Economist, that talks about the
future. It is a project called
Remanta that explores the aerodynamic properties of
insects. See the
videos. However, the UAV project does not stop in
France's Remanta. The Germans have developed something
amazing in the field of
Surveillance Drones. They are using
GSM technology to remotely control the drones. In other
words, they add the module found in your cell phone to both
the receiver and transmitter of your Radio Control and
BINGO! You have a Radio Control for your airplane that works
wherever there is a signal for your Cell Phone. AMAZING,
isn't it!
Besides
that long range potential, they also incorporated a GPS
module and computer management software to guide your Drone
Aircraft. The Drone carries a video camera that broadcasts
high quality signal in 2.5GHZ to a ground receiver. Use it
for surveillance or even paparazzi ventures. Check out the
videos:
