| |style="color:#000"|'''Paparazzi''' is a free and open-source hardware and software project intended to create an exceptionally powerful and versatile autopilot system for fixedwing aircrafts as well as multicopters by allowing and encouraging input from the community. The project includes not only the airborne hardware and software, from voltage regulators and GPS receivers to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalman_filtering Kalman filtering] code, but also a powerful and ever-expanding array of ground hardware and software including modems, antennas, and a highly evolved user-friendly ground control software interface.

| | '''[http://paparazziuav.org Paparazzi UAV]''' (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) is an open-source drone hardware and software project encompassing autopilot systems and ground station software for multicopters/multirotors, fixed-wing, helicopters and hybrid aircraft that was founded in 2003. [http://paparazziuav.org Paparazzi UAV] was designed with autonomous flight as the primary focus and manual flying as the secondary. From the beginning it was designed with portability in mind and the ability to control multiple aircraft within the same system. Paparazzi features a dynamic flight plan system that is defined by mission states and using way points as “variables”. This makes it easy to create very complex fully automated missions without the operators intervention. For more project information, [[General|see here]]. |

There were more than 140 initial [http://www.uavforge.net/uavhtml/milestones.php contestants] and after several selection rounds with only 12 finalists, the paparazzi [[Lisa/M]] powered [http://www.teamatmos.nl/ ATMOS] was one of the few that could actually make it to the remote target site miles away in an RF unfriendly environment. No team fully completed the baseline objectives which is why no prices were issued. The vertical takeoff and landing, together with long range thanks to the wing and flexibility thanks to opensource paparazzi were key factors in this event [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81NvfLFzhqQ].
| |
| | |
| But probably more important, the development of [http://www.teamatmos.nl/ ATMOS] has added a new [https://github.com/tudelft/paparazzi/tree/atmos-master4-flyoff code-base] to paparazzi to enable the control of any hybrid [https://github.com/tudelft/paparazzi/blob/atmos-master4-flyoff/sw/airborne/firmwares/rotorcraft/force_allocation_laws.c multi-lifting] device vehicle. ATMOS can take-off vertically as a quadrotor, transition to full forward flight as an airplane but also fly in any intermediate transition stage fully autonomously. So let your imagination go loose!

More than 4000 hectares of farm and grassland were photographed in visible and near infrared spectra. More than 8500 photos were taken.

| |
| After many years of development, so many new autopilot boards and aircraft types have been added that a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source_code sourcecode] reorganization was needed. This undertaking is started and will simplify the continuous evolution of the project.
| |
| | |
| To benefit from these important changes, it only requires you to update your airframe configuration document once. After you have updated, you should not notice the significant reorganization that is going on behind the scenes. This change will benefit your aircrafts flying successfully for the years to come. The required changes are described on [[User/AirborneCodeReorg| Update Your Airframe Configuration]].
| |
| | |
| At this point several developments are blocked because of this. Therefor we kindly request you to upgrade your airframe configuration documents as soon as possible and thank you in advance for doing so.
