ImageInfo UAVs are Chinese UAVs developed by Beijing ImageInfo Co., Ltd. (ImageInfo, 北京航天星图科技有限公司), a major supplier of flight control system (FCS), namely, ZY-01 FCS, and various flight control software for UAVs. ImageInfo has expanded its business by venturing into developing UAVs by jointly developing UAVs with other Chinese UAV developers.
Sky-01A
Sky-01A is the first UAV developed by ImageInfo, and it is a hand-held micro air vehicle (MAV) of modular design. The electrically powered MAV utilizes GPS navigation and its data link is resistant to interference / jamming. There is no special requirement for operator training so Sky-01A can be rapidly deployment by almost anyone with just basic knowledge instead of requiring experts.[1]
