基于冷原子的时钟和传感器提供的卓越性能有机会深刻影响一系列应用，例如在重力测量中，通过低漂移测量实现长期监测应用。虽然地面设备已经开始进入商业市场，但无人机系统（UAV）部署的此类设备需要在鲁棒性和尺寸，重量和功率方面进行显着改进。在这篇文章中，我们实现了第一步部署的冷原子为基础的时钟和传感器的无人机的演示无人机便携式磁光阱系统，冷原子为基础的系统的核心包。该系统能够在370 mm x 350 mm x 100 mm的封装中产生2.1 +/- 0.2 x 10（7）个原子的云，重6.56 kg，消耗80 W的功率。
The extraordinary performance offered by cold atom-based clocks and sensors has the opportunity to profoundly affect a range of applications, for example in gravity surveys, enabling long term monitoring applications through low drift measurements. While ground-based devices are already starting to enter the commercial market, significant improvements in robustness and reductions to size, weight, and power are required for such devices to be deployed by Unstaffed Aerial Vehicle systems (UAV). In this article, we realise the first step towards the deployment of cold atom based clocks and sensors on UAV's by demonstrating an UAV portable magneto-optical trap system, the core package of cold atom based systems. This system is able to generate clouds of 2.1 +/- 0.2 x 10(7) atoms, in a package of 370 mm x 350 mm x 100 mm, weighing 6.56 kg, consuming 80 W of power.
