One of the most sought objectives in the field of UAVs is the maximization of flight endurance. This is one of the strongest points in the Penguin aircraft. Penguin UAV achieved an endurance record of 54.5 hours of flight without landing. It amply broke previous records, bearing temperatures above 30 ºC and wind gusts exceeding […]
Nowadays, GPS positioning is a crucial element for drone control. UAVs install GPS sensors with which they accurately calculate drone position. It makes it possible to execute predefined flight missions or make improvised landings and autonomous maneuvers, such as “Go Home,” only by pressing a button on the joystick or activated by a pre-programmed action. […]
Las Vegas (USA), specifically the MGM Grand Hotel Casino located at South Boulevard, will welcome the Commercial UAV Expo 2016. This event will take place from October 31st to November 2nd. This is one of the most important B2B (business to business) global events in the industry of drones. Commercial UAV Expo 2016 is […]
Until now, civil drone Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS) control was not possible with accessible means. But this is already a reality with advances in satellite communications and 4G networks. There are few universities and companies that have already performed flights and communications tests at ranges of hundreds of kilometers. In the absence of […]
Safety is one of the most important factors in flight operations with drones. Safety requirements established by the FAA and other civil aviation authorities are becoming more stringent for commercial and professional drone operations. Avionics systems based on redundant autopilots permit to increase system safety and reliability. The safety offered by redundant autopilots is […]
After a decade developing electronic components and autopilots for UAS, Embention presents its improved Veronte Autopilots new line with increased performance hardware. This high-reliability avionics system is compatible with all kinds of operations and applications. Being able to execute professional operations in the sectors of mining, inspection of oil and gas pipelines, precision agriculture, crop […]
When seeking to improve our expertise degree in the drone operation and piloting with no costs or risks. Or for testing new flight configurations in our UAVs, it is essential to use an HWIL simulation environment, “HardWare-In-the-Loop” or “HIL.”. HWIL simulation is used in complex avionics systems installed in UAVs for the development and […]
New applications and functionalities for UAV systems are continuously appearing. This fast evolution is due to the increasing demand from companies seeking to integrate the benefits of UAVs into industrial processes. It helps the promotion of continuous development policies in the UAV industry. This fast expansion motivates the necessarily associated evolution on onboard sensors and […]
