Avionics and Autopilot

BAI Aerosystems is a pioneer in the development of miniature Digital Flight Control Systems (autopilots) for precision control of small UAS. BAI has created it's GEN III autopilot with the needs of the total UAS in mind. BAI's hardware offers numerous interfaces to flight control components, payloads and datalinks and has been carefully engineered to provide the maximum capability with the least amount of power, space, and weight.

Using an advanced architecture based on the proven Motorola 68332 processor, BAI's Digital Flight Control System offer a degree of adaptability and user-friendliness not found on more application specific designs. Surface-mounted components and industry standard electronics packaging techniques have been utilized to ensure rugged, professional hardware made to survive in real-world operating environments. All software used in BAI's autopilot has been programmed in ANSI "C" language, providing a robust code with many user-programmable functions.

BAI's has autopilot's suitable for many fixed-wing air vehicles; with minor modifications to the hardware, repackaging for critical fit applications is possible, as is re-programming of software features to enable tailoring of control functions to meet each customer's hardware requirements.

	Wing-leveling
	Altitude-hold
	Heading-hold
	GPS Waypoint Navigation (Ground and/or On-The-Fly Re-programmable)
	12 or 24 volt operation
	RS-232 Control Interface
	PWM or Serial Input-Output
	Telemetry Support

Many other functions may be supported. Contact BAI with your flight control requirements, and we will be pleased to recommend an appropriate solution for your needs.
