UAV Navigation tests autopilot software against C-UAS

UAV Navigation reported on 4 June that it is testing its autopilot software against a C-UAS after a receiving a request from one of its customers.

Robustness tests were performed on the Alpha 800 UAV (pictured) which uses UAV Navigation’s flight control solution. The system was able to detect interferences and ensure continued operation without any disruption.

The software does not overly depend on the use of GNSS for its critical system loops whilst also using UAV Navigation’s Interface Control Document (ICD) to prevent, analyse and detect any possible interference or systems failure.  Both of these factors explain its ability to resist interception.

According to a statement released by the company, its hardware is certified to MIL-STD-810F and MIL-STD-461F.
