AscTec Pelican

"Uh, this one can carry a lot of fish".

This was a statement made by one of our first customers purchasing this system. And it exactly describes what it has been made for: high payload - you do not necessarily have to carry fish.

Furthermore, it is built in a modular fashion allowing you to change your boards quickly and easily. The main core is designed like a tower, making it plug-and-play.

The "crux" of the system is the potential to be equipped with an Intel Atom processor board (1.6 GHz,    1 GB RAM, 90 g gross weight). Along with this and many other features, the AscTec Pelican is probably the world's first flying notebook system of this size.

As a result of its high payload capacity and its modular design it is able lift laser scanners or different cameras (e.g. on a large boom).

The AscTec Pelican is perfect for you if you need:

• Very high payload capacity
• High onboard computing power
• Easy access to the boards from the tower's slots

We used the AscTec Pelican for IARC competition 2009. Its reliability was one of the basic requirements for the outstanding victory.
