Development of the Autonomous Aerosonde

Abstract

The autonomous Aerosonde is being developed to provide a flexible and low cost observing platform for a wide variety of needs, most notably in the field of meteorology. The approach taken during the development program has been to combine engineering development with extensive field testing which has included participation in a number of international field programs. By adopting this approach, it is hoped that the end result will be a product that is finely tuned to the needs of the end-user.
