Problem
The unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) industries require robust, certified flight control systems to ensure safe and reliable autonomous operation, especially when operating in increasingly complex and regulated environments. Existing solutions often lack the necessary certifications (DO178C, DO254, DO160) required for airworthiness, hindering the deployment of advanced aerial applications.
Solution
Embention provides Veronte Autopilot systems, a comprehensive suite of flight control solutions designed for UAVs, unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), unmanned surface vehicles (USVs), and eVTOLs. These systems are engineered to comply with stringent aviation certification standards, including DO178C, DO254, and DO160, facilitating the safe integration of autonomous vehicles into diverse operational environments. The Veronte ecosystem includes autopilots, motor controllers, avionics, tracking systems, and control stations, offering a complete solution for autonomous vehicle control and fly-by-wire aircraft. By adhering to rigorous certification processes, Embention enables manufacturers to meet regulatory requirements and enhance the safety and reliability of their aerial platforms.
