Introduction

Tactical Superiority with Advanced Survey & Reconnaissance UAV for Challenging Environments

Alpha-X is a Survey & Reconnaissance UAV developed for the purpose of navigating and collecting intel in harsh terrains and inhospitable environments. The UAV has been designed and developed to be rapidly deployable while being .

AlphaX is the most versatile unmanned aerial vehicle with custom gimbal mounts. The drone can be used in the most demanding of conditions as it is rugged and has a lightweight carbon fiber body. It is also highly reliable since it features multiple fail safe operations.

This multi rotor UAV can be put to use for security & surveillance, inspection, disaster relief management and Photogrammetry applications.

There is a pressing need to deploy aerial devices in large numbersto provide the tactical commanders with real time images of the area of interest. Aerial surveillance has proved effective in seeking and consolidation of valuable intelligence. Quadcopters being lightweight, can be carried by troops and deployed in area of interest at any time of day, to gain real-time intelligence and to keep in check the area of operations surveillance. This enhances the operational effectively engaging infiltration of terrorist/Anti-national elements across Line of Control.

AlphaX developed by Aeroaeon Avionics, can be utilized in neutralizing terrorists along Line of Control, thwarting dangerous operations against national safety and serve asa counter-infiltration measure by employing suitable payloads.

Camera Gimble 3-Axis

Camerais highly stabilized and optimized with 3-axis gimbal payload enabling pinpoint-precise motor rotation with a control accuracy of ± 0.01°. This allows Smooth footage and image to be captured even when the device is flying at high speeds.
Powered by custom lens 1 / 2.8 EXMOR R CMOS modules, with 0.01lux@F1.6starlight level min illumination, camera can still clearly display image features in poor light environment. 2.3 mega effective pixel and 1080p FHD quality, combined with 30x advanced optical zoom technology, the observation range is up to 3000 meters, which can meet the application requirements of the Armed forces.
Advance IR Thermal Imager integrated with French ULIS high-precision uncooled long wave (8µm ~ 14 µm) thermal image sensors, allows the camera to record and transmit thermal images and visible images at the same time in PIP format. With temperature sensor, the device can accurately attain the temperature of objects and individuals. The thermal sensor allows three points’ temperature ranging between 0°C ~ 120°C to be measured and displayed on screen. Adjust the different colors applied to the thermal data based on the needs of specific scenarios.
Object tracking in Visible light and thermal imager dual sensor, build-in normalization, cross-correlation and tracking algorithm, combining with object missing recapture algorithm, achieve stable track of the target. Support custom characters of user OSD, adaptive gate, cross cursor, trace information display. The tracking speed is up to 32 pixel/frame, object size range is from 16*16 pixel to 160*160 pixel, with the minimal signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) 4 dB, the mean square root values of pulse noise in the object position < 0.5 pixel, which greatly improve the accuracy and tracking effects.
