The following situation shows the Aggressor II Helicopter and Autopilot in the situation of managing a moving payload. The video demonstrates the ability of the Autopilot to correct the Helicopter real time and correct the situation of an X lb payload that is moving via a connected swinging rope. The autopilot’s program will continually make corrections to the helicopter to balance and manage the payload. This is an example of the sophistication and capability of the platform to manage itself in the most turbulent of situations.

The following situation shows the Aggressor II Helicopter and the R/C Remote Control mode, with the ability with the ability to auto-takeoff, in flight assistance, GPS handled hovering and auto-landing feature. Also, the video shows the ability for the Autopilot to handle a complete shutoff of the R/C Remote control and the ability to automatically use the ‘Home’ mode that returns the Helicopter to specified GPS spot, hover and automatically land, without pilot intervention. The ability to have a complete autonomous flight managed only from an R/C control demonstrates the ability to easily manage the Aggressor II under non laptop situations.

SALT LAKE CITY -- Over the weekend, you might have seen an aerial shot of the fatal accident on I-15. The Utah Highway Patrol used its latest tool to take the photo. A helicopter that looks like the real thing but weighs only about 20 pounds takes great pictures of accident scenes like the one on Saturday. One person died when a tow truck swerved into oncoming traffic. Sgt. Brad Horne operates the helicopter's remote control devices that have been in use for the past year. He says the tool has many benefits, namely cost and time. "We can do in four to eight minutes what used to take us almost an hour or two and a half hours," he said. Troopers use a computer system to convert the pictures into accurate scale diagrams. The device also is cheaper than bringing out the real chopper.

The following situation shows the Aggressor II Helicopter and Autopilot with the ability to begin flight with the RC Mode controller. Then the user has the ability switch modes from the RC Autopilot to full autopilot on the Ground Station Software. The Aggressor II then completes a mission, entirely based upon the pre-generated way points, altitude, speed, hover commands and altitude instructions from the Laptop. The craft will then autoland upon completion of the mission. The ability to switch real time from RC mode to Base Station mode demonstrates the unique ability for the Aggressor II to provide the ultimate in simple flight and mission completion.

The following situation shows the Aggressor II Helicopter and Autopilot with the capability to maintain flight for over 45 minutes with a single battery charge. The duration of the flight demonstrates the superior endurance over competitive UAV fuel motors and electric propulsion motors.

The following situation shows the Aggressor II Helicopter and Autopilot with the ability to fly with several 2 Liter water tanks to illustrate the ability to fly with well over 15 lbs of payload in flight. The ability of the craft to fly and hover with autopilot management engaged under normal flight usage with a large payload. This demonstration illustrates the superior performance and lifting capabilities over competitive UAV fuel motors and electric propulsion motors.

The following situation shows the Aggressor II Helicopter and Autopilot with the ability to fly in winds over 20 mph. The ability of the craft to fly and hover with autopilot management engaged under extremely windy conditions illustrates the superior performance capabilities over competitive UAV’s with fuel motors and electric propulsion motors.
