Mag Specialties Inc 12 Mg 24.305 LIGHTEN UP 33% Lighter than Aluminum 75% Lighter than Steel High Specific Strength & Stiffness Technical Sales: 303-357-5394 info@ magspecialtiesinc.com CUAV Expo Americas 2023 | Report Taisync showcased its Viulinx DUO dual-band radio module, which incorporates 2.4 and 5.8 GHz data links. “We’re manufacturing this modem using all Green UAS-approved components and certification. We can therefore work with UAV manufacturers to get NDAA compliance too,” said Yan Li. “There is far less interference in the 5.8 GHz band almost everywhere. And as far as we know, it’s the only standalone link solution that supports frequency-hopping between this and the 2.4 GHz band.” The Viulinx DUO measures 65 x 43 mm, consumes less than 6 W during standard operation, and transmits at 26 dBm at 2.4 GHz and 23 dBm at 5.8 GHz. It incorporates a number of interfaces including Ethernet for video connection, and serial ports for telemetry transmissions. Taisync also showcased its VuiRC2.5, a 5.5 in (14 cm) Android-based handheld controller with the Viulinx DUO built in. It is intended as a low-cost, highperformance small GCS for UAV operators. The system is currently at the prototype stages, with production to follow. Freefly Systems discussed its new Pilot Pro handheld GCS with us, which has been designed and built around a Samsung Active Tab 3 Android tablet, and with other features around that. “The system is ruggedised, has ultrahigh brightness, and is entirely userconfigurable so that integrators can install whatever applications or extensions they want for operating their uncrewed systems,” said Matt Isenbarger. “It’s also designed to be upgradeable in the future, as the peripheral control hardware can be unplugged from the Samsung tablet and integrated with a different one as new models come out. We also have mounting locations on the sides, which are principally intended for users who have iOS or other non-Android systems they want in their GCS network, or if they want additional control buttons or knobs. “A lot of our clients are in UAV cinematography, so we expect they’ll use those for focus wheels and similar camerawork tools that aren’t already available.” The Pilot Pro’s factory-set peripherals include manual switches for altitude settings, following GNSS points, and tools for high-fidelity control in cinematography or inspection work such as ‘velocity clamps’ to adjust the speed and velocity (both vertically and horizontally) of the UAV and its gimbal. It is also being designed with a radio interface on the back, which can accept either a Doodle Labs radio (currently NDAA-compliant) or a 2.4 GHz Herelink radio, although Isenbarger notes that Silvus, Persistent Systems and DTC On Land.
