Australian Research Centre for Aerospace Automation

The QUT Unmanned Aerial System (QUAS) is a fixed-wing platform which is our primary UAS research test-bed, and represents a new page in the vehicle assets that ARCAA-QUT has been using for far. Among the initial capabilities of this platform is an endurance of 3 hours, a payload of 10kg and flexible configuration capable of accommodating several payloads. The QUAS, is a key enabler of the ARCAA autonomous system development capability. The key components of the QUAS are:

Reconfigurable flight control architecture.
Onboard Embedded processing computer.
Stabilized Gimbal Camera mount.
Heterogeneous communication system including Next-G and Iridium.
Telemetry system, enable by a long range radio modem.
Ground Control Station (GCS)
