Budgie
Budgie is a small 1200mm wingspan hand launched UAV.
Budgies can be swarmed with other UAV’s such as Osprey to give localised surveillance of an area of interest without Osprey being diverted from its primary flight profile. Budgie is being developed to prove the concept of swarming and would have practical applications in bush fire identification.
Budgie utilizes the same basic construction and avionics of Osprey. Its small size allows for easy field deployment and the motor/battery combination is tailored for the rapid aerial assessment of a localised situation.
