Under the project UNIVERSAL UAV we have developed an unmanned aircraft („drone/RPAS/UAV"), as well as a Generic Ground Station for the transmission of commands, system data and videos. Our motivation is the need of firefighting forces of an automated system for the early detection and avoidance of wild & bush fires. Just in Europe the CO2 emission of wild fires counts for 25% of the total emission, while that of all cars and aircraft count for 10%. Avoiding only every second wild fire in Europe would save more CO2 than all cars and aircraft cause. But also in other missions our UAV is superb thanks to its unique flight performance and its low operating cost. It got developed for professional flight service providers (e.g. FBO) and Aviation Companies which use cost-intensive helicopters as well as for organizations which perform missions for governments, industry and sovereign tasks. Our scope includes law enforcement, coast guard, Search&Rescue and Homeland Security uses.
