Abstract
This paper focuses on the development of small rapid response reconnaissance unmanned helicopters (1 to 3 kg, electric), for use by the military in urban areas and by civilian first responders, in terms of system architecture, automation (including navigation, flight control, and guidance), and operator interface designs. Design objectives include an effective user interface, a vehicle capable of smooth and precise motion control, an ability to display clear images to an operator, and a vehicle that is capable of safe and stable flight.
