| | '''[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]]. |
| |style="color:#000"|[http://www.nongnu.org/paparazzi Paparazzi] is a [http://www.fsf.org/ free software] project intended to create an exceptionally powerful and versatile autopilot system 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 [[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.

| |All hardware and software is open-source and freely available to anyone under the [http://www.gnu.org GNU] licencing agreement. Efforts are currently underway to organize production and retail sales of the autopilot and popular accessories, making the system much easier and more affordable for all.
| | |
| |- | | The Paparazzi software source and hardware design is distributed without any guarantee. Before flying, please refer to your country's national aviation regulation for Unmanned Aerial Systems, or the one of the country you intend to overfly. |
| |The key feature of the paparazzi autopilot is its unique combination of infrared thermopiles and inertial measurement for attitude sensing, providing a robust and accurate attitude estimate that requires no ground calibration and can recover from any launch attitude.

| |style="color:#000"|Two Paparazzi teams, [http://www.enac.fr ENAC]/[http://www.miraterre.com Miraterre] and [http://pfump.org Martin Mueller/Christian Lindeberg] won 2nd and 3rd place at the [http://www.us-euro-mav.com MAV06 competition]. Unfortunately, both teams had insufficient video resolution to identify the 1.5m ground target required for high-scoring and the winning prize went to BYU university with a much larger plane carrying a Procerus Kestrel autopilot and a Panasonic KX-141 camera with a very narrow 30 degree FOV. Flight performance and navigation for both ''Dragon Slayers'' and the ''Black One'' was exceptional as usual. All planes performed flawless autonomous takeoffs and landings and the ''Slayer'' performed an autonomous paintball drop with wind-corrected precision that put the ball within 3 meters of the designated target from an altitude of 40 meters in a 5 m/s wind. Unfortunately, the stress of managing two aircraft from a single ground station during an intense competition, aggravated by a misbehaving GPS in one of the planes that required a power and flight-plan reset just prior to launch resulted in us neglecting to re-input the target coordinates and the ball was dropped accurately on the ''default'' target location, not the actual target location provided by the judges just prior to flight.
