'''[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]].

They took off and landed on the helicopter deck of the Norwegian icebreaking coast guard vessel [http://www.jtashipphoto.dk/JTA-W303%20Svalbard.htm KV Svalbard] for one week and set a new Paparazzi low temperature record by flying at around -20°C and 15m/s wind in altitudes up to 1500m. For another two weeks they also collected data on Spitsbergen near Longyearbyen. See pictures in the gallery and a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWEa_4Hlm2s video].
