System Introduction

System Characteristic

Main features:

· With the comprehensive flight status monitoring alarm function (including the state of power supply voltage, 
state of inertial navigation, GPS, link-state, etc.) and perfect emergency protection mechanisms (including 
return, hover, autonomous landing, etc.), and Paladin system can realize the control law of restructuring in 
some failure cases of sensors or attitude algorithm, thus the maximum guarantee the safe operation of the 
user's system;
·  Provide  highly  integrated  ground  station  software  BY-  GCS,  which  has  the  functions  of  flight  data 
monitoring, dashboard status display, abnormal status alarm, flying remote control, electronic map, route 
planning, etc;
·  The  attitude  algorithm  of  Paladin  system  adopts  KALMAN  filtering  technology,  which  has  high 
measurement accuracy, and reduces the probability of attitude divergence, thus ensuring the reliability and 
safety of the system work;
· Combined with the remote control device, the Paladin system can be controlled by the remote control 
mode to control the operation, thus ensuring that multi-rotor UAV can step in and ensure flight safety during
take-off and landing.
· It provides a strong route planning capability and flexible task control function, and users can use ground 
station software to make a variety of flight tasks conveniently service;
· The Paladin system integrates high precision inertial and satellite navigation sensors, and the sensor data 
is covered by the pretreatment and the whole temperature range compensation and data fusion can obtain 
flight attitude, position coordinate and working status in real time, and complete the high-precision attitude 
and route control of the multi-rotor UAV platform;
· The Paladin system integrates dual degree CPU and sensor, which can automatically detect and switch 
independently to ensure flight safety.

Navigation task:

· Offer up to 170 user routes, or 340 navigable points.
· Automatically generate return routes Protection configuration:
· Low voltage protection of battery;
· Exceed the maximum flying range protection (isolation regional security protection);
· Remote control protection;
· Radio interrupt protection;
· GPS fault protection;

Protection measures to switch to high maintenance mode;

·  Flight  overrun  protection:  when  the  aircraft  pitch  and  roll  attitude  angle  more  than  60  °,  the  plane 
automatically lock blade.

Remote control equipment:

· Compatible the commonly used remote control;
· Manually mode or autonomous control mode can be switched through the remote controller;
· Failsafe (protection when it’s out of control) status of the remote control can be monitored;

Airborne data record:

· Flight data is stored on dedicated storage devices for flight control;
