An autonomous vehicle is defined as a vehicle capable of sensing its environment and operating without human intervention. That is, the vehicle is capable of detecting the surroundings and making a decision according to its purpose and the data collected.
Almost all electronic systems have various types of memory in order to function properly. One of these memories is the mass storage memory or secondary memory.
In order to guarantee the robustness and the correct operation of the Veronte Autopilots, each unit undergoes through a verification process under stress conditions before it is delivered to the end-user. This set of processes is called Environmental Stress Screening (ESS).
As previously discussed in our post describing the standards for UAV certification, international regulations are aimed at subjecting drones &eVTOL to airworthiness processes equivalent to Type Certificates or international standards TSOs (Technical Standard Orders) / ETSOs commonly used in manned aviation.
We are glad to announce the partnership between Embention and Sagetech Avionics. Sagetech Avionics is the world’s leading developer and manufacturer of miniature aviation transponders, and Embention, the leading supplier of critical components for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). This partnership allows Embention, adding Sagetech’s transponders, to offer a full certified situational awareness during the piloting of UAVs.
We love the freshness, lightness, flexibility and above all cheapness of an open-source code autopilot. But at the same time we strongly desire to have the reliability, stability and safeness of a professional autopilot system with a proprietary software supported by experienced engineers, and which are capable of providing peace to our souls every time that our UAVs plough through the skies.
The growth of the Air-taxi and eVTOL industry in the last decade and the deep study of its potential has originated a wide diversity of aircraft, demanding the existence of different regulations to correctly cover the appropriate security requirements in each case.
With the aim that thousands of drones share the same airspace, the drone industry is jointly promoting those technologies that are needed for turning this idea into reality. In order for UAVs to share airspace, it is necessary that drones intercommunicate with each other, and with their remote operators, in real-time. With this goal in […]
