Intro to SUAS(Small Unmanned Aerial Systems)

You are here: Home > Intro to SUAS

Ask Yourself

A lot has changed in the small unmanned aerial systems (SUAS) industry over the last few years. Now, with multi-rotor systems becomingeasier to fly, more reliable and with ever increasing payload ability, it is a better time than ever to start using these systems to either start a new business or compliment your existing business.

Here at Heliguy we have been building, flying and using SUAS for a good few years. We have built up extensive knowledge and experiencefrom every aspect of the industry. We answer a lot of questions about the best ways to start up, what equipment is needed, and whatqualifications are required to operate commercially. This guide should hopefully help to answer those questions, allowing you to get the systemyou need, that will get the results you want.

First and foremost, ask yourself these questions:

1. What is the end result you want to achieve? Are you a photographer who simply wants to get a new angle from the air? Are you acinematographer looking to get beautiful aerial HD of wildlife? Do you need a system for inspection purposes, or thermal imaging? Is itfor a university project? There are so many applications for these systems, you need to know want you want to achieve before thinking about anything else.

2. What kind of equipment are you going to be lifting? A GoPro? A Canon 5D? or other data aquisition equipment? Weight and size will determine what kind of system you will eventually need .

3. How much experience do you have with RC systems? Are you a complete novice? Have you flown basic RC helicopters before? Areyou an experienced pilot, or are you going to hire one? Although these system have become easier to fly and maintain over the last year,

a working knowledge is essential, both operating and maintanence. Most countries will require certification/permission which involves atest to prove this. Remember we can or course build, maintain and teach you how to use these systems.

4. Do you have a budget in mind? Answers to the questions above will largely determine this for you (see our example systems

). Butthere are many additonal options to consider, many of which are great to have, but not completely neccessary.

Data Imaging:Photogrammetry. With automatic systems programmed to photograph a certain area you can build up an accurate image or 3D model of a site or building. Or use small, nimbal systems for close up inspection and thermal imaging.

Turnkey Solutions:We have built and flown a lot of systems in our time. We build certified* multicopter systems that deliver. All our machines use components that

have been fully tested and that are widely available and easy to replace, this make maintenace easier and cheaper than other systems out there.Add to this full support, servicing and maintenance along with unlimited advice and you can see we are probably one of the best solutions outthere for SUAS.

Components:All our components have, at one point or another, been used by us in a turnkey build. This means that they are well tested, sourced and work. If you want to build your own system, these parts will allow you to build soemthing that meets your requirements. We're always on hand for advice, and will happily source new kit to meet your needs.
