𝗕𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗿𝗱 – 𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝟴𝟬𝟬 𝗞𝗶𝗹𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝘆 The Bussard was successfully operated remotely from a distance of around 800 kilometres, controlled from a ground control station near Munich while the aircraft was flying in airspace near the North Sea. The footage shows the Bussard in its “Optionally Piloted Vehicle” (OPV) configuration: a pilot was on board, while the actual flight control was carried out entirely by the operators at the ground control segment near Munich. This is made possible by 𝗥𝗮𝘀𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗲, the proprietary flight control and avionics system, developed in-house, and that is already in use on the Grille and Wespe platforms. The transition to a fully unmanned configuration is currently in preparation: “This will represent our next milestone on the path toward an unmanned aircraft that combines cost efficiency, long-range capability and European sovereignty,” said Niclas Bähr, CEO of Avilus. This demonstration of mission-relevant long-range control not only promises a European defence capability. It delivers it. Check the full article here: https://lnkd.in/dtr4gpFw
