Leap ahead in your Unmanned Air System development

Time

There's never enough. And when it comes to Unmanned Air Systems, development time-scales are shrinking rapidly. Users, on the other hand, are always expecting more. That's why it makes sense to rely on our experience and proven tool-set to accelerate development. Leveraging IP developed over years of high quality R&D, you can now realise total mission capability on time-scales you wouldn't believe.

Cost

When it comes to development cost, you aren't building the Space Shuttle. You need to deliver the advanced capability that your customer requires, but you can't pass on an inflated development cost. So work smarter, not harder: utilise our ready-made suite of flexible tools and proven capabilities to get ahead of the cost curve.

Quality

You can't emulate it. Your customer expects it. And you have to deliver it on time and on budget. That's why you need to be smart about how you build quality into your Unmanned Air System. You need proven onboard systems and algorithms. And you need a proven set of capabilities to bring your system to life. From rapid prototyping of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, development and integration of onboard systems and algorithms, to flight testing, we offer a complete set of services to ensure that your system will meet your customer's expectation of quality.

Assemble the capability you need

Our suite of tools and capabilities is extremely flexible. That means building a bespoke capability doesn't have to be painful. From ground infrastructure, to vehicles, to the hardware and software that drives sensors and turns data into information, we can develop an Unmanned Air System that will do your job, and do it right.

Innovate to beat the competition

Whilst all sectors of the economy since the Industrial Revolution have relied on innovation for continued growth, some of our customers ultimately depend on innovation to maintain a winning edge over adversaries and potential adversaries. It is the battle of the drawing boards. That's why we actively push (and sometimes redefine) the envelope when it comes to smarter and more capable Unmanned Air Systems.

Do more with less

To some degree, the old adage, 'It's not what you have, it's how you use it', rings true. That's why, in addition to pulling the latest technology into systems and developing novel approaches at the component level, much of our innovation effort focuses on smarter approaches to delivering system capability — smarter on-board systems and algorithms, integrated with more capable Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, and more intelligent ground infrastructure, to deliver more powerful effects with lower overhead.

Sometimes great advances come out of the Blue

We have a strong track record of taking blue sky research through to an innovative, demonstrable capability. And we continue to work with partners large and small to turn paper concepts into reality. In 2009 the company won an IET Innovation Award as a member of the 'Best Team' for a collaborative effort involving a defence prime, an automotive company, other SME's and a university.
