UAVOS unveils Apus HAPS UAV at LIMA 2017.

This innovative control approach allows to reduce the mass of the drone by at least 25 percent as compared to the classical scheme, and efficiently allows to abandon the spar, as well as to fly at low altitudes in conditions of strong turbulence. Using new control algorithms and a fundamentally new approach to design enables Apus drone to maintain functional stability at higher latitudes, thereby expanding the area of flights.

Apus has a wing span of 34.5ft (10,5m) and a weigh of 33lb (15kg); the drone can perform flights at an altitude of up to 50000ft (15000m). Apus atmospheric satellite is intended for long-term monitoring at various latitudes around the globe, and can also serve as a telecommunication hub.

UAVOS investor and board member, Vadim Tarasov adds, “The autopilot system that we have incorporated in our drones can be intergrated with any type of existing civil or military airafts and convert into a drone that operates in a fully automated manner and does not require human intervention.“
