Firebird Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS)

The maps and videos in this section are based on experimental flight tests of the 8-ft wingspan Firebird unmanned aircraft system (UAS).  The Firebird UAS was an in-house research and development program conducted while employed at System Dynamics International (SDI).  The Firebird was equipped with a forward-looking video camera, as well as a GPS-equipped digital camera that provided high-resolution nadir views of surface features. The Firebird is no longer in service.
