ASRG receives two UAS C2 vehicles
The Autonomous Systems Research Group (ASRG) at the University of Southampton has received two UAS Command and Control (C2) vehicles from BN Security & Defence to support ASRG's work in autonomous systems.
The two vehicles will provide C2 facilities for international UAS missions in space, air, land, surface and sub-sea. Missions undertaken by the university include pilot training, air traffic control compatibility, low-altitude operations safety, civil unmanned aviation, weather prediction and pollution monitoring.
The vehicles utilise a Mercedes Sprinter chassis, long-range cameras, marine type radar systems and a roof-mounted Ka band satellite dish with a pneumatically actuated 10m communications mast to enable field communications and telemetry.
Both the vehicles feature NAS drives that help to store and analyse data, a 10kw generator and inverter system for air-conditioning, power and lighting, secure helium gas and fuel storage facilities, overhead storage and cabinets, desks with inset video displays and control panels, an external side awning, a sliding seat system, and a rear workshop space.
