AP04M is UAV Navigation’s most versatile system in its autopilot product line. Based on its highly reliable AP04 UAV autopilot, the AP04M inherits the same technology that allows UAVs to fly constantly in IFR.
The AP04M is used on experimental and light aircraft ranging from simple ultra lights to 250Kt+ speedsters. The AP04M is compatible with many of the most popular EFIS systems in the market.
The AP04M provides all flight data to be displayed on an EFIS system, including: roll, pitch, yaw, IAS, TAS, ground speed, track, heading, angle of attack, rate of turn, side slip, position. It can also estimate wind and continue providing accurate position estimates even on GPS failure scenarios.
The AP04M is capable of controlling unstable aircraft, providing a pitch/roll interface for the pilot while hiding the stabilization d ynamics, greatly reducing pilot workload - much like the flight control systems in fighter aircrafts.
Unlike traditional altitude hold or roll steering autopilots, the AP04M is fully aware of the flight envelope of the aircraft that it is flying and it will maintain appropriate airspeed, while it follows a fully three-dimensional flight plan.
The AP04's redundant dual micro-processors provide the highest level of safety, automatically switching upon detection of computational failure. Additional redundancy built into the software allows the AP04 to survive all individual sensor failures, while maintaining accurate estimates of attitude and position. Additionally, its ruggedized enclosure is both impact resistant and waterproof.
UAV Navigation is a privately owned company that specializes in the design of flight control systems for manned and unmanned aircraft.
