The Leica Aibot AX20 has been put through its paces by the British military

国防部通过专业部门进行了广泛测试，该专业单位负责监督尖端遥控飞机系统（RAPS）的开发和创新。

“这对我们来说是不寻常的，因为这是我团队所研究的第一批调查无人机 - 但它通过V＆V流程，现在已在ModNet上列出。现在，由每个武装部队决定他们如何充分利用AX20的调查功能。”

该测试的第一部分涉及在瑞士Leica Geosystems的生产设施上进行Mod类型的适航局（TAA）审计。这评估了无人机的制造和其传感器技术的整合，从而进行了详细的综述。

第二部分是为期一周的“验证和验证”（V＆V）练习，该练习是在英国的MOD空军基地进行的。Leica Geosystems派出了一支专业团队，其中包括该公司瑞士总部的专业飞行员，与MOD的实验单位一起工作。

The Leica AX20 Aibot is now listed in the MOD’s RPAS database, which is available to wider MOD departments (including the Royal Navy, the British Army, the Royal Air Force and the Royal Marines) for independent comparison/assessment against requirements as well as for procurement.

军事应用包括河流和土地侦察（侦察），土地勘测，国防事故调查，国防后管理，军事空气事故调查以及高分辨率摄影等。

测试发现，AX20仅需3分34秒即可设置，而2分37秒才能拆除。它超过了其规定的“无效载荷无效的最大耐力”（26分钟而不是24分），并且以超过56公里的速度飞行。

“ AX20 AIBOT飞行得很好 - 所有基本功能都达到了出色的标准，并且在阵风过程中保持稳定……主要功能是捕获高度准确的调查和3D矫正仪的能力。一个很好的方面是图像的捕获速度如何。”

According to the test lead for the MOD, the geo-fence test went well, in particular. The UAV is able to pre-empt the geo-fence in advance and adjust its speed accordingly (ie automatically slowing to a crawl before the boundary). The safety and security aspect concerns the likelihood and severity of the aircraft entering secure/segregated airspace or an unsafe area – for example, above a crowd of people.

Remote-piloted aircraft systems play an increasingly important role across all of Britain’s armed forces, from very small, commercially available drones which fit in a backpack via larger, exclusively military RPASs used for surveillance and intelligence-gathering through to large weaponised UAVs.

About the Leica Geosystems AX20

The Leica Aibot SX intelligent aerial surveying solution captures a digital data set in less time, via a fully integrated UAV survey workflow. It uses drone technology to capture, process, model and analyse millions of data points gathered from above. It fits in with Leica’s existing tools and technology in the reality-capture space, completing the picture from above in 3D and providing reliable, accurate 3D survey results on demand. That data can be combined with other survey technologies such as TPS, GPS, and laser-scanning to provide more complete information.

AX20仅需几分钟即可调查非常大的站点，从而使项目能够快速且具有成本效益，而人为较少的干预措施。模块化设计使AX20在几分钟内易于设置和部署，并且可以携带一系列传感器有效载荷。
