The project

Paparazzi is an open-source 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 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 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.

The ENAC-Miraterre and Martin Mueller (the real one) teams, both using the Paparazzi autopilot got 2nd and 3rd place at the MAV06 competition. The video proved to be not good enough too fulfil the target identification. However the navigation for the three airplanes (two slayers and the black one) was satisfactory. Autonomous takeoff and landing were also successful. Paintball drop would have been almost perfect if the location of the target has been set correcly :-(
See you next year in Toulouse.
