GIS UAV (Pty) Ltd DF-M01 Fixed Wing Specifications and Prices ________________________________________________________ Can you think of an application for drones? Maybe the filming industry, security, agriculture, conservation, mining, military? If you can imagine it, we can design and build it. This is what we do at GIS UAV. We design and build drones. DF-M01 Fixed Wing Specifications & Prices DF-M01 Fixed Wing The DF-M01 Fixed Wing is a versatile rugged carbon fiber drone designed for short range surveillance missions. The frame of the drone, including undercarriage, servos and mechanical components weighs 10 kg. The total takeoff weight is 28 kg. If you add a DLE 55RA gasoline motor (1.7 kg) and considering fuel pipes, fuel tank and ignition battery and you should end up at around 13 kg without fuel. You still have 15 kg to work with and must now trade between payload and range. (Consider the legal restrictions on takeoff weight in your country) For flight time at 75% throttle, speed 110 km/h you will use 1 liter fuel every 55 minutes. You can therefore fly 100 km on 1 liter of fuel (estimation, also keep a safety margin) A 4 liter fuel tank will give you 220 minutes of flying time (400 km). The weight of 4 liters of fuel will be about 3 kg leaving you with 12 kg for payload. On the other hand you might trade payload for flying time, hanging only a video camera on the drone, and fit a much bigger fuel tank. Then there is also the battery option. You might choose a quiet electric motor and stack the drone with a bank of batteries, for clandestine surveillance. The image below, shows a DF-M01 landing - powered by an electrical motor.

We therefore need to add a 50 meter rangefinder and teach the software to read the Z value from the rangefinder instead of the GPS when it approaches the landing strip. The list below is what you will need to upgrade to automated takeoff and landing.  Rangefinder and accessories  Installation and programming for Auto Takeoff and Landing Stage 7 Stage 7: Upgrade to Omni-directional Antennas (For live video transmission) R 25 814.40 ZAR Price Exl VAT $1 720.96 USD Price Approximate In order to fly around your base station as oppose to flying in one direction only, you need to add a couple more receiving antennas to cover the other 3 quadrants and a diversity unit which continuously switch to the antenna receiving the best signal. The list below is what you will need to upgrade to Omni-directional flying with live video transmission.  3 x additional receiving antennas (for Video), hand tuned and cased. R2 430.00 x 3  1 x Diversity unit R14 868.00 Stage 8 ZAR Price Exl VAT $991.20 USD Price Approximate Stage 8: Upgrade to directional 110km range (Live video transmission) With this upgrade you can now fly out to 110km in one direction and still have live video transmission. It is basically just a matter of using a different directional antenna. However, you will lose your telemetry information and radio control after 30 km. You will therefore have rely on autonomous waypoint flying and FPV.  Long Range Directional Antenna R7 080.00 $472.00 GIS UAV (Pty) ltd, Sinoville, Pretoria, City of Tshwane (www.gisuav.co.za) Contact no: +27 76 951 6896 [email protected] Page 21 of 24 DF-M01 Fixed Wing Stage 9 Specifications & Prices ZAR Price Exl VAT USD Price Approximate Stage 9: Pelican Case Ground Control Station Embedded in a tough, weatherproof Pelican case, the Mobile Ground Control Station offers the operator full access to the video and control of the UAV in one mobile unit.
