A Small Autonomous Aircraft for Remote Sensing of the Atmosphere. Phase 1.
Abstract
In 1992, The Insitu Group began development of a very small, very long-range autonomous aircraft (or aerosonde) for economical meteorological reconnaissance in remote and oceanic regions of the globe. Prototype work was done over the first two years of the program, and in the last half of 1994 the focus moved to development of an aircraft suitable for field trials. All of the necessary components were produced during the Phase I period, including airframe, avionics, powerplant, ground equipment, and software. We are now proceeding toward integrated flight tests, and initial deployment in a meteorological field experiment late in 1995.
