The Drontec W.A.S.P is a purpose designed surveillance UAV constructed to carry a range of payloads. It is based on a Quadcopter configuration using 4 removable Motor Arms with integrated landing gear. The system described here is equipped with a FLIR thermal camera for surveillance in complete darkness.It also includes an 18X HD zoom camera allowing target observation from great distance for either covert or high-risk reasons.The removable Motor Arm system allows for fast swop-out of the components most likely to be damaged in high risk operations.This system also improves maintenance, as the complete WASP need not be shipped for repairs, only the individual arms, as all serviceable parts likely to be damaged are contained within these hot-swop removable arms.
We have chosen to incorporate the DJI Lightbridge control and HD video transmission system. This makes it very easy for pilots familiar with DJI’s consumer UAV’s to easily make the transition to this security system. The use of a smart device allows the pilot to make use of the DJI Go-app with the familiar Google Earth mapping and waypoint functions.
The Drontec W.A.S.P is not intended to be used by inexperienced pilots. This manual aims to highlight the components and functions that are specific to this aircraft and does not serve as a complete manual for an inexperienced UAV pilot. We would suggest that the WASP pilot have the necessary flying experience on consumer UAV’s such as the DJI Phantom or similar before operating this craft. We do not cover the functions of the DJI Go app as this is well documented at www.dji.com.
The W.A.S.P offers an extremely robust UAV platform incorporating easy and fast field serviceability combined with long term parts availability. This ensures that the system will remain in service for many years to come.
We are confident that you will enjoy using the W.A.S.P as much as we enjoyed developing it.
