Aeroscout UAV systems are primarily designed for close-range applications such as airborne laser scanning, hyperspectral scanning, aerial photography, video recording, geophysical surveillance, or thermal imaging. In cooperation with qualified partners, Aeroscout provides lidar scanning, mapping services, aerial photogrammetry, search and rescue, emergency inspection, supervision, and aerial monitoring.

Aeroscout Scout B1-100 UAV Helicopter

The Aeroscout Scout B1-100 UAV helicopter is our latest development of a completely autonomous, unmanned helicopter. The standard configuration includes the flight control system, redundant power electronics and batteries, an onboard electric starter, and a 10l fuel tank. This configuration allows integrating additional 18kg of a customized heavy payload unit. The flight endurance with the maximum payload can achieve 1.5 hours for typical environmental conditions. All data given is based on flight testing and system demonstrations at approx. 500m above mean sea level (AMSL).

GENERAL The autonomous industrial unmanned helicopter drone Scout B1-100 has been developed for professional airborne applications.
PAYLOAD The helicopter provides a free heavy payload capacity of up to 18kg (40 pounds) with an empty weight about 47 kg (The maximum take-off weight MTOW is 77kg (at 500m AMSL), depending on flight altitude above mean sea level).
OPERATION The helicopter drone can either be flown in conventional manual mode with high maneuverability or can be operated with its integrated INS/GPS automated flight control system. This flight control system allows joystick (velocity) mode as well as GPS waypoint (position) mode.
SAFETY The helicopter has been developed under severe safety policies, high engine power reserve capacities, mechanic robustness (multiple load excess), and environmental robustness against spray water and dust.
FEATURES The Scout B1-100 provides easy transportability and maintainability through system modularity, flexible payload options, and a smooth and easy-to-start 100ccm gasoline engine.
DEMONSTRATION System demonstrations are available on request in Lucerne, Switzerland.
