RY series UAVs are a series of Chinese micro air vehicle (MAV) developed by Beijing LSSA Technology Co., Ltd. (LSSA, 北京天通集成科技发展有限公司). RY series MAV is characterized by utilizing autopilots and GPS, one of the first among Chinese UAVs developed by private firms in China. Although LSSA is actively marketing the RY series UAVs with numerous commercials, not much technical details have been revealed, probably because the company ventured to UAV business in its latest expansion, hence UAV arena is a relatively new area, in comparison to other more established business of the company. LSSA has been traditionally a company providing subsystems, software for flight control and system integration of hardware and software for other UAV manufacturers, and RY series is its first attempt to establish its own brand of UAVs.
