TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION
Drone maintenance, control and calibration training stand DRODRE1-3
GENERAL INFORMATION
The stand is designed for practical training in drone operation, assembly, calibration, maintenance, and visual data processing.
Functions of the stand:
Assembly and calibration of multirotor drones (4–8 motors).
Simulation of primary control elements of a fixed-wing drone.
Flight control using a real transmitter and telemetry system.
Diagnostics of propulsion system, GPS, autopilot, and video system.
Configuration of video recording equipment.
Processing of visual and thermal imagery.
Practical training in maintenance and fault diagnostics (batteries, motors, wiring).
Technical configuration
Training drones (models included):
Multicopters (4–8 motors): quadcopter, hexacopter, octocopter.
Fixed-wing drone: simulated airframe with aileron and rudder action imitation.
