  • MICRO-ROTORCRAFT SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20090212157
    Abstract: A flying micro-rotorcraft unit is provided for remote tactical and operational missions. The unit includes an elongated body having an upper and a lower end. The body defines a vertical axis. The unit further includes a navigation module including means for determining a global position of the elongated body during flight of the unit. Rotor means of the unit is coupled to the upper end of the elongated body for generating a thrust force that acts in a direction parallel to the vertical axis to lift the elongated body into the air. The rotor means is located between the elongated body and the navigation module.
