UAS/C-UAS and Airborne Systems

Aerotech has extensive experience in all aspects of Airborne Test, from Concept Design, Requirements Capture and devising the associated Test and Evaluation plans to ensure the end result matches the requirements and, critically, the User expectation of the capability of the final system. So often, projects lose sight of the overriding operational requirement to be useful – Aerotech’s detailed SE practices are designed from outset to minimise risk and build confidence as a project moves forward, identifying the optimum route to achieving success via a partnership between realistic requirements and viable/achievable testing.

The important link between planning and test/trial of airborne payloads is the host platform integration. It is fair to say that the excessive cost of integrating a prototype system into an airborne platform is often the main reason airborne test is not even contemplated by many manufacturers. Aerotech’s team of Systems Engineers have expensive experience of getting ideas airborne in a cost-effective way. We are platform agnostic, therefore we can help you get your new systems airborne in the most cost-effective way, help you take the next step to realising a fully-capable product. 

Aerotech’s team includes experienced flight test personnel and UAS operators – in that order. Testing, by definition, requires accuracy, something our operators fundamentally understand, whether as crews or operators of UAS. If testing of platforms, or Countermeasures, is needed, Aerotech can deliver reliable and accurate airborne test management. Our team of technical SMEs are experienced in the testing of payloads, whether Electro-Optic, RF or comms, and our pilots are expert in Human Machine Interface (HMI) and crew station evaluation, including NVIS and HMD integration into fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft.
