OTHER LIMITATIONS
Do not make any unapproved modifications to the Intel
®
Falcon™ 8+ UAS.
Do not transport the system in containers not approved by Intel Corporation.
Do not disassemble the aircraft.
2.9.1 GPS Mode
In this mode the inputs via the Intel
®
Cockpit Ground Control Station (GCS) directly control the
speed of the UAS. For example moving the right control stick completely to the left (which
controls pitch and roll) means the system will fly at 10 mph (4.5 m/s) to the left, independent of
the wind strength and direction.
For safety reasons and to make operation as easy as possible, there are some limitations:
 Roll and pitch angles are limited to 45°.
 Speed in horizontal plane is limited to 10 mph (4.5 m/s).
 Ascend rate is limited to 6 mph (3 m/s).
 Descend rate is limited to 6 mph (3 m/s).
GPS Accuracy
The GPS module of the Intel
®
Falcon™ 8+ UAS supports GPS and GLONASS. Under ideal
conditions, the horizontal accuracy can reach around +/- 6.5 ft. (2 m).
