Aspen Avionics and Sensurion Aerospace have entered into a partnership to develop certified avionics for UAS and unmanned air-taxi platforms, Aspen announced 19 March.
The companies will focus on the development of FAA-certified autopilots, communications, navigation and surveillance systems for small, medium, and large UAS, including future cargo and passenger carrying aircraft.
The initial product development will include an autopilot/flight controller, GPS/GNSS and surveillance systems including ADS-B.
John Uczekaj, president and CEO, Aspen, said: ‘Our consumers demand adaptability and a certifiable pedigree that can help get them to market quickly, operate with an extreme level of safety, and include innovative architectures that combine certified avionics with today's flying drone service/IoT data platforms, and near future cargo movers and people haulers.'
