This paper presents the preliminary work is a part of a research focusing on close range photogrammetry for landslide monitoring.The main objective of this paper is to present the Close Range Photogrammetry (CRP) technique, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) will provide a platform to monitor the surface area This method was applied using the capabilities and power of Gatewing, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) for data capturing with respect to UAV tracking conducted in UTP, Tronoh, Perak, on 15th March 2012 at 150m height. The Gatewing is designed for rapid terrain mapping with fully automated image processing. The result proves that data processing were conducted by Srecthout Software. Flight planning was carried out on site, where the areas to be observed are situated inside the UTP campus. The paper focus on final production of an orthomosaic. In conclusion, it is demonstrated that Gatewing, UAV is the best, fast and powerful mapping vehicle for close range photogrammetry application in future works. It shows highly excellent performance compared to other UAVs already established in the market today. Keywords: Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV); Close Range Photogrammetry (CRP); Gatewing; orthomosaic; terrain.

A propulsion system of the CRW (Canard rotor wing) type UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) was composed of the turbojet engine, exhaust nozzles (including some tip jet nozzles and a main nozzle), and the duct system (including straight ducts, curved ducts, and master valve). The CRW-type UAV has three different flight modes, such as the rotary wing mode for takeoff and landing, the high-speed forward flight mode with the fixed wing, and the transition flight mode between the previously mentioned two flight modes. In order to evaluate transient performance characteristics of the CRW-type UAV propulsion system during flight mode transition, the propulsion system was modeled using SIMULINK®, which is a user-friendly graphical-user-interface-(GUI) type dynamic analysis tool provided by MATLAB, in this study. The transition flight mode between the rotary wing mode and the fixed wing mode was simulated by considering area variation of the master valve and the main exhaust nozzle. In order to verify acceptability of the main turbojet engine model, performance simulation results using SIMULINK were compared to results using the commercial program GSP. Through this simulation, proper operation of the master valve and the variable area main nozzle can be found for safe flight transition. Therefore, performance characteristics were investigated depending on various angle positions of the master valve.

Results of experimental studying radiation spatial structure of atmosphere background nonuniformities and of an unmanned aerial vehicle being the detection object are presented. The question on a possibility of its detection using optoelectronic systems against the background of a cloudy field in the near IR wavelength range is also considered.
