SkyVision's Control Vehicle

We developed our own control vehicle consisting of a Volkswagen Crafter with trailer. The Crafter is divided into two compartments: a commando room and a UAS supply space. The vehicle has multiple UAS's in the back. All systems are ready to fly, and don't require any assembling before take-off.

The trailer is equipped with an 11 KVA generator and an extra generator of 3 KVA, electricity (220 or 380 Volt) if necessary.

The front side of the trailer has a 10-meter long pneumatically extended, telescopic antenna. This results in optimal range for transferring images, communication and WiFi-internet. A weather station is placed on the antenna to measure wind speed and wind direction. There is one Bosch auto dome 800 full HD camera placed in the antenna, which can rotate 360 degrees, for stationary images around the control vehicle.

In the commando room there are two ultramodern computers, one is connected with four 24inch LED monitors and one connected with a 42inch LED Touch screens. The room is provided with communication radios, a high-end surveillance system which can show live images and zooming into a specific object and an editing space. By using 6 hard drives of 2 terabytes each, all images can be saved and processed, which gives you the possibility to rewind specific images instantly and video edit immediately.

And storage for several airframes.
