1. DAF2 UAV Visual Guidance System Overview
The DAF2 UAV Visual Guidance System is an advanced visual guidance solution designed for high-speed target tracking and precise strikes. It integrates a colorless Kalman filter terminal guidance law with a low-latency target tracking algorithm to accurately predict target positions. The system uses a proportional navigation algorithm to adjust the UAV’s flight vector in real-time based on the angular velocity of the target line-of-sight. With its FPGA hardware-acceleration architecture, it achieves microsecond-level target locking and precise terminal guidance, making it ideal for high-speed target tracking and precise strike scenarios. The system offers three variants: DAF2 A, DAF2 HD, and DAF2 DU, each with different specifications to meet various application requirements.
2. Product Features
- Advanced Algorithms: Integrates colorless Kalman filter, low-latency target tracking, and proportional navigation algorithms for high-speed and precise strikes with a Circular Error Probable (CEP) of ≤0.3m.
- Lightweight and Low-power: Core module weighs only 18g with dimensions of 38x38x10mm and consumes ≤2W power, representing an 85% reduction compared to GPU solutions.
- High-performance FPGA Acceleration: Utilizes parallel pipelines for video processing, achieving 0ms picture delay and ≤5ms locking delay, a 90% improvement over CPU/GPU solutions.
- Ultra-high Reliability: Firmware-based operation with clock-driven parallel pipeline architecture eliminates software crash risks. Meets EMC Level 4 standards and operates in -40~60°C temperature ranges with industrial-grade components.
- Versatile Models: Available in three variants (DAF2 A, DAF2 HD, DAF2 DU) with varying locking distances, resolutions, and fields of view to suit different application needs.
