1. A modular payload device for unmanned aircraft, characterized in that it is provided with
a body (1) made up of:
at least two longitudinal members (2), wherein each longitudinal member (2) is provided with at least one coupling element (20),
at least four guides (5), wherein each guide (5) has attachment means (6) through which it is coupled to the longitudinal members (2),
four rods (7) such that one end of the rod (7) rests on a base (8) which is provided with anchoring means (3),
at least two frames (11) provided with a plurality of perforations (12) and guiding recesses (13), wherein the guiding recesses (13) allow coupling the frame (11) to the guide (5),
a plurality of complementary coupling elements (14) attached to the frames (11),
and a printed circuit board (PCB) (15) linked to one of the longitudinal members (2), which has a plurality of standardized connectors and a plurality of power regulators for connecting flight instruments and payload instruments of the unmanned aircraft,
wherein the frames (11) are fixed to the body (1) by means of introducing the rods (7) through the perforations (12) of the frames (11), whereas the coupling elements (20) of the longitudinal members (2) and the anchoring means (3) of the base (8) are linked with the complementary anchoring means (14) by tongue and groove clipping.
