The transponder name is given by the abbreviation transmitter-responder. In terms of air navigation, a transponder is an electronic device placed in a UAV or in a common aircraft that emits a coded identification signal in response to a received interrogation signal from the ground.   Detection and identification of UAVs and aircraft with a […]

Everyone knows about the new fields that have been opened by the emergence of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV). In the same way, the USV (Unmanned Surface Vehicle), vehicles that operate on the surface of the water without a crew, represent an evolution of traditional boats. The USVs are unmanned vessels capable of precisely maneuvering at […]

AUVSI (Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International), of which Embention is a member, organizes every year the AUVSI Xponential, the largest B2B exhibition about drones, robotics, and unmanned vehicles. This year (2018), everyone around the world who is interested in this industry made an appointment at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, USA, between April […]

In the UAV world, a large number of components and electronic devices are required. Embention has printed in its DNA the R&D necessary for the development and design of a multitude of systems and electronic components, essential for the manufacture of drones. Now, we will go into detail about one of these electronic components, their […]

To ensure a safe flight, and according to the current regulations in the majority of countries, it is necessary to equip the UAV with automated procedures, which are activated when a specific unscheduled event is verified during the flight operation. The failures can be of different types and these are classified in a different way […]

Michael Jordan once said, “Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.” This quote can be applied to many aspects of life and even to UAVs. When a drone is navigating, there […]

Over time, adaptive control has been increasing its use in different sectors and industries since its beginnings in the aerospace industry, going through the control of vibrations until the use of autonomous systems and UAS. This is possible because its features permit to optimize the automations that are under its control, something that is always […]

The surprising flight test of Falcon Heavy has been very present in the media during the last days, which technologically supposes a great quantum leap forward for big aircraft. It stands out the incredible vertical synchronized landings of the propulsion rockets, which we can watch in the video shown down below. The attention has been […]
