UASRL – AHUODEN high altitude surveillance drone

Modeled exactly after the American Global Hawk drone, the AHUODEN model seeks to provide insight into the ever-increasing need for high endurance and high altitude drones that can serve in a wide range of missions.

Currently, it has completed all ground tests successfully and awaiting its maiden flight.

It will be used as a platform to test the capabilities of various flight control software as well as on-board sensors and instruments. A more advanced version with very high endurance capability is currently in the design phase.
