UAV Propulsion Tech collaborates with MicroPilot
UAV Propulsion Tech announced on 19 January that it has signed a representative agreement with MicroPilot that will see MicroPilot market UAV Propulsion Tech’s family of autopilots in the US UAV market.
MicroPilot provides a range of lightweight autopilots for fixed-wing, transitional, helicopter, and multi-rotor UAVs. Solutions offered include board mount, enclosed and triple redundant autopilots; HORIZON Ground Control Software; True Hardware-in-the-Loop (trueHWIL) simulators; and XTENDER autopilot customisation software.
Howard Loewen, founder and president, MicroPilot, said: ‘Our MP21283X triple redundant autopilot will allow defence and commercial UAV customers to protect their high value air vehicle/payload assets by improving autopilot reliability which will become more important as the US FAA develops regulations for the commercial market.’
