UAV Systems
UAV platforms, flight control, payload integration, telemetry, navigation and autonomy for mission-oriented unmanned aerial applications.
Overview
RTS develops technologies and subsystems for unmanned aerial systems, combining flight-control electronics, embedded software, guidance and navigation, avionics, telemetry, payload integration, computer vision and electromechanical engineering. The division focuses on developing critical UAV building blocks that can be integrated across different unmanned-aircraft architectures.
Engineering capability spans indigenous autopilot hardware and software, flight-control and stabilisation, guidance and sensor fusion, UAV avionics, telemetry and antenna tracking, stabilised gimbals, payload integration and release mechanisms, computer-vision technologies, power and motor-control electronics, simulation and subsystem integration. This multidisciplinary capability enables RTS to address UAV requirements at both subsystem and integrated-platform level.
