RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
Autonomous Technology have designed The VISION 90, The Prospector, AT8-1000M and the
AT4-400M and are constantly working on cutting edge design and autonomous technology.
THE VISION 90
The VISION 90 is a medium frame vertical take-off and landing helicopter. With autonomous flight operation under all conditions, together with take-off and landing. It is enhanced by dual long range frequency hopping data link transmission, providing data redundancy and manual pilot operations with repeatability and safety.
The VISION 90 is best in class and bench mark in UAV’s for aerial photography, long distant survey including pipeline inspection, while remaining stable in adverse weather conditions.
With class leading reliability, endurance and payload capabilities the helicopter is able to carry sophisticated cameras with full frame / high megapixel sensors. The VISION 90 is the machine of choice for many reputable mining and oil and gas corporations.
In high winds, in particular cross wind and thermal activities the helicopter excels and with these key features is best suited for aerial surveying.
The VISION 90’s redundant dual long range data transmission ensures communication in all working environments. It provides a redundant data link for telemetry and manual pilot intervention as well as dual battery supply for extended operation and backup power. The common connectors allow the exchange of all flight packs between any system.
The VISION 90 enhances the pilot’s situational awareness with an integrated standalone video data link. This ensures the operator is aware of the machines location at the blink of an eye and rapidly confirms the aircraft is covering the area you require while being on track, on heading and on time. Don’t be in a situation to second guess your location, confirm it.

VISION 90 ADVANTAGES
Class Leading Performance
High Resolution Surveying
The VISION 90 is the class leader of mapping large areas at slow speed and low altitudes. The level of detail results in 3D modelling that reflects “AS BUILT” design accuracies that are at or below 20mm.
THE PROSPECTOR
The Prospector was designed by Autonomous Technology to provide the latest advances in aerial magnetic surveying systems and utilises the latest in helicopter and sensor technology. Autonomous Technology’s proven Vision 90 platform integrates seamlessly to the Prospector, sharing data between the sensor and helicopter platform for live corrections.
AT8-1000M
The OCTOMAX is a medium frame vertical take-off and landing aircraft. For mission critical applications where job safety is vital the OCTOMAX is capable of flying on 6 motors. Providing new levels to redundant features and flight. With complete autonomous flight via ground control station or with manual pilot intervention for inspection application the OCTOMAX can deliver. When custom payloads are concerned the unique design of the OCTOMAX enables rapid integration and deployment of all critical sensors and hardware. From aerial photometric survey to sensor analysis and data monitoring the OCTOMAX is mission ready. Compact form factor with integrated foldable motor mounts, removable undercarriage and payload ensure easy storage and rapid deployment in all conditions.

AIRCONTROL – Composite Ground Control Targets
The AirControl eliminates the need to resurvey control in the field. It provides the highest possible accuracy with locating the centre mark and is made from light weight composite material with honeycomb layup providing increased durability and stiffness. The white centres are replaceable for easy serviceability extending the life of your targets.
This product enables automatic centroid location, faster processing time and increased accuracy and is available in the following sizes:
- 1200 x 1200mm
- 800 x 800mm
- 600 x 600mm
- 400 x 400mm
The size range covers a target size for all altitudes with target sizes 1200 and 800mm best suited for covering large areas flying at higher altitudes. The most common target size being 800 and 600mm for most aerial mapping applications. Please talk to an Autonomous Technology representative for the optimum target size for your needs.
CLASS LEADING PAYLOAD FLEXIBILITY
The VISION 90 is flexible to all payloads, from fixed mounted to tethered sensors. Still images to multi spectral including EO/IR day night capabilities. Autonomous Technology offer custom integrations of sensors and payload, enquire below for further details.
