Matt what would be your guess to setup and design a standalone reconfigurable
FLARM type of system., I was thinking about future ADSB,ACARS,AUTO MET,
Outlanding advice , soaring spot tracker type of stuff?
If we had one box that broadcast FLARM type stuff that could utilise cheap
Comms it might be worth investing in.
Hardware and software? Do we need aviation spec compliance? Software is
relatively easy, even some of the hardware these days. My workmate doing
the UAV glider as put together the something with all this output except
FLARM for about A$400. Granted he's an electrician and knows his way
around system config, so ahead of the game compared to your average
glider pilot, but in bulk, pretty simple with already commonly available
parts and software.
For the FLARM component, a reasonable dev with basic physics knowledge
should be able to code up a robust solution in about 6 weeks.
The rest is all just packaging, bulk production and managing the
QA/release and upgrade lifecycle.
