"I certainly would be interested in a gimbal system that has nice smooth tracking ability."

Miles replied to Miles's discussion Ring Laser Gyro
"I thought they could be used. If used successfully say 3 or 4 units the accuracy would be far better than GPS and would allow GPS to become a secondary back up navigation.

Then we only need to brief up the processing power of the autopilot. How…"

Hi Everyone,Just an idea here and yes I know its out of DIY community price range but could the IMU on autopilots in general be replaced with Ring Laser Gyro to improve overall performance e.g. position, IMU drift etc. Just a thought.

"yes the TASE Gimbal is great but I believe its like 20K maybe something a bit more simple in design and certainly cost."

"Has anyone thought about jointly designing a small ball turret gimbal that uses block camera, maybe high resolution servos etc. Certainly be great to have."

"Good to hear progress is being made. Are you going to integrate it with MEGA by any chance and will you have the function of dynamic re-tasking while in flight?"

"Guys its renamed to "BAT" when the killer bee was brought by NG from swift. Looks cool but rather impractical for the military."

"If you do put a HUD Overlay on the video means you will have two cameras. One being pilot view (from the nose) and another one being a gimbal camera that can be operated by the payload operator."

"Put the HUD either Left or Right Top corner and all mission critical information below it. Dont forgot a section for waypoints so you can see what waypoint its currently at and what is the next waypoint."

"I wouldn't get too stress of having a HUD over video feed, it would be great but I think it would be added complication. A HUD which can be used for internal pilot flying have a look at the following HUD in the virtual cockpit;…"

"Greg,

I know everyone love dials but they take up a lot of space and are really useless when they can be replaced with a window and number in it. If you have a look at any of the commercial or military gcs none of them have dials. Ravi, you get my…"

"Great work there. The layout is nice and clear and you didn't use dials to display information on the UAV. This will be a great basis to form a great GCS. Keep it coming."
