This is the second time for the Blue Magpie MAV to show up in TADTE, following its debut in 2007. The air vehicle itself does not seem to have changed. But the whole system looks more mature.
藍鵲迷你無人飛機在2007年就曾經出現在台北航太國防科技展上，從外型來看，今年展出的藍鵲無人飛機似乎跟兩年前沒什麼兩樣，但是整套系統就顯得成熟得多。
The most noticeable change in the system is the new portable control station (PCS). The following photo was taken in TADTE 2007.
系統上最大的改變是可攜式控制台，下面這張照片攝於2007年的展場：
The new PCS is shown in the next photo. You can see the differences.
新的可攜式控制台如下圖：
The PCS features an ASUS Eee PC. (No kidding. See for yourself.) But I think it only functions as an operating interface and there is a more powerful computer inside the PCS. Of course, I could be wrong. It may be a beefed-up Eee PC.
可攜式控制台最引人注目的是華碩的Eee PC，不過我個人認為這台Eee PC可能只是當做操作上的介面，控制台裡可能還有一台更強的電腦。當然，我有可能錯了。
Video taken by the CCD camera onboard the air vehicle is displayed on the small LCD screen on the top.
機上CCD攝影機所拍攝的影像是在控制台左上方的小螢幕上顯示。
Control commands are transmitted by the Transmitter/Receiver Module (on the right in the next photo) mounted on a tripod, while the video data is downlinked to the PCS via the Video Receiver Module (left).
控制指令和飛行資料是透過下圖右邊的無線收發模組來上下傳，至於影像則是透過左邊視訊接收模組來接收。
