摘要

“Sweeper” consists of two subsystems – “Groundhog”, which is a small, less than sevenrnhundred and fifty millimetre diameter disk unmanned air vehicle (UAV) relying principallyrnon vortex and wall attachment (Coanda) effects operating on the upper surface to generate liftrnand “Retina” - head or helmet mounted laser designator.rnThe subsystem, hereinafter referred to as “the system” for simplicity is designed to providernan air platform for sensors for safe and speedy means of locating buried munitions (BMs)rnconcealed below ground level in hostile environments.rnGroundhog operates up to one hundred meters radius from its operator and flies typically atrnone half meter above ground level or water surface.rnWhilst the technology employed for the actual detection of the munitions is not explicitlyrndescribed, the means by which the detection technology is carried takes advantage of thernexceptional control characteristics of the Coanda disk UAV and coupled with its inherentrnsafety characteristics and easy handling will provide a faster means of locating BMsrnparticularly in high-risk situations.rnSimply stated; Groundhog is an aerial sensor platform but one that does not have to be handrncontrolled by an operator in hazardous or high stress situations.rnUnlike ordinary hand held metal detectors for example, it has a high level of autonomy andrnrequires minimal operator control allowing the operator to perform other tasksrnsimultaneously.rnThe versatile control characteristics of Coanda UAVs facilitate easier remote operatorrncontrol.rnGroundhog is controlled in flight by means of an operator helmet mounted infrared (IR)rnscanning laser designator and/or voice command subsystem called “Retina”.rnRetina is designed to facilitate hands free control and operates a handshake guidance protocolrnwith Groundhog by steady and controlled operator head movement. Sudden or unexpectedrnhead movements are ignored by Groundhog and Groundhog may be commanded to ignorerndirection commands from Retina; in which case Groundhog will enter a loiter mode andrnawait further voice commands via the handshake channel.rnIn the event of handshake protocol between Groundhog and Retina being permanentlyrninterrupted then Groundhog will loiter at its last designated position for a set period and thenrnland but remain powered for a short period before powering down to conserve power. Restartrnis effected automatically when handshaking is reestablished or by voice command.rnSeveral Sweeper systems may be operated in close proximity without interference.rnSweeper is designed to operate in open, uneven terrain but some degree of automaticrnobstruction avoidance is possible within line-of-site. Automatic ultrasonic obstacle avoidancernmeasures are incorporated in Groundhog.rnThe Groundhog air-frame is resilient and air pressurized and presents no collision hazard andrnit may be safely handled even when fully powered and flight ready.
