X8 Flying Wing
The X8 delta wing UAV is an easy-to-launch, quick-recovery solution for fast algorithm testing, terrain mapping and operational surveillance. This system boils down to a simple one-man single laptop setup configuration with a large array of capabilities. It is an affordable platform, with considerable hotel payload capability, ideal for surveillance and Wi-Fi coverage expansion.
The glider shape and size allows for a logistically light operation setup with a short time for preparation.

Features
Security and Surveillance
Capable of carrying a small digital High Definition IP video camera or an IR camera the vehicle can perform video reconnaissance (up to 4Km) of the operation theater with constant Wi-Fi connectivity. Video can be either transmitted in real time to the operation station or stored on board for later analysis.
Network Extension
Through the on-board Wi-Fi modem the vehicle can not only transmit data back to the operation station but can also extend an existing Wi-Fi network for field operation.
Autonomous Navigation
Using either commercial autopilot or in-house created solutions, these vehicles are capable of manual and autonomous flight from catapult launch to net-recovery landing.
Terrain Mapping
Making use of the on-board camera and the on-board CPU the vehicle manages to create a map of the operation area through image mosaicing.
