Leica Aibot Ax20已经通过英国军队完成了它的步伐

The Ministry of Defence has extensively tested the Leica AX20 Aibot aerial surveying copter, via a specialist unit which oversees the development and innovation of cutting-edge remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPASs).

“这对我们来说这是一个不寻常的一个，因为它是我的团队所看到的第一个调查无人机 - 但它通过V＆V流程来了，现在在Modnet上列出。现在，它取决于每个武装部队决定如何充分利用AX20的调查能力。“

该测试的第一部分涉及瑞士徕卡地铁系统生产设施的Mod类型适航机构（TAA）审计。这评估了UAV的制造和传感器技术的整合，导致了详细的审查。

第二部分是一周长的“验证和验证”（v＆v）练习，在英国的Mod Airbase进行了物理审判。Leica Geosystems派出了一支专业团队，包括公司瑞士总部的专家飞行员，与Mod的实验单位一起工作。

The Leica AX20 Aibot is now listed in the MOD’s RPAS database, which is available to wider MOD departments (including the Royal Navy, the British Army, the Royal Air Force and the Royal Marines) for independent comparison/assessment against requirements as well as for procurement.

军事申请包括河流和土地侦察（常规），土地测量，防御事故调查，国防职务局管理，军事意外调查和高分辨率摄影等。

The tests found that the AX20 took just 3 minutes 34 seconds to set up and 2 minutes 37 seconds to tear down. It exceeded its stated ‘maximum endurance without a payload’ (26 minutes rather than 24) and flew at just over 56kmph.

“The AX20 Aibot flies very well – all basic functions operated to an excellent standard and it remained stable during gusts… The main feature is the ability to capture highly accurate surveys and 3D orthographics. A good aspect is how quickly the images are captured.”

根据MOD的测试引线，地理围栏测试进展顺利。无人机能够预先预先抢占地理栅栏并相应地调整其速度（即在边界之前自动减慢爬行）。安全和安全方面涉及飞机进入安全/隔离空域或不安全区域的可能性和严重程度 - 例如，在一群人之上。

远程驾驶的飞机系统发挥增加ly important role across all of Britain’s armed forces, from very small, commercially available drones which fit in a backpack via larger, exclusively military RPASs used for surveillance and intelligence-gathering through to large weaponised UAVs.

About the Leica Geosystems AX20

The Leica Aibot SX intelligent aerial surveying solution captures a digital data set in less time, via a fully integrated UAV survey workflow. It uses drone technology to capture, process, model and analyse millions of data points gathered from above. It fits in with Leica’s existing tools and technology in the reality-capture space, completing the picture from above in 3D and providing reliable, accurate 3D survey results on demand. That data can be combined with other survey technologies such as TPS, GPS, and laser-scanning to provide more complete information.

AX20只需几分钟即可调查非常大的网站，使项目能够快速，非常有效地完成，以较少的人为干预。模块化设计使AX20易于在分钟内设置和部署，并且可以携带一系列传感器有效载荷。
