Military Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

The tactical UAV system consists of four air vehi-
cles and the associated ground equipment, from
where the operators have full control over the
UAVs and their sensors. The vehicle is equipped
with a GPS navigation system for fully autono-
mous operation, and can be controlled using both
LOS (Line-Of-Sight) and non-LOS datalinks. The
UAV’s tasks include day/night reconnaissance,
surveillance, target acquisition and bomb damage assessment.

Pump Description:
The electronic fuel metering pump is designed for use with electronic fuel injection
(EFI) systems on military Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV) applications. At the heart of
the system is a proprietary rotor design featuring pressure compensating, rolling
contact components constructed of tool steel. The pumping element is driven by an
8-pole brushless dc motor featuring a high-energy neodymium permanent magnet
rotor. The motor rotor and pumping element are supported by a single hardened
steel shaft supported by sealed ball bearings. The entire rotor assembly runs wet-
ted, in the fuel, and is statically sealed from the stator and motor controller. The
assembly contains an ASIC based integral motor controller for precise flow control
through a proportional 0-5 vdc input command signal.
