A Spanish SME is offering its expertise on autopilots and drone components for Horizon Europe topics

The SME based in Spain provides more than 15 years’ experience in drones and professional components for autonomous vehicles. The SME has developed its own autopilot and related components and nowadays this company is exporting its products and services to more than 70 countries. The Spanish SME also delivers complete full electric drone systems for specific applications and provides support with the installation and customization. The core product of the Spanish company is the Autopilot. It is a high reliability control system for drones and eVTOLs developed under international standards. This system is available as a single core module or including 4x redundancy. Besides the certification and reliability, the autopilot includes plenty of features that can help the partners in achieving their research goals. With its experience the Spanish SME can help the partners with any issue related to the autonomous sector. The autopilot can be easily configured to manage all kinds of manned or unmanned vehicles. It allows the user to modify almost all the parameters and configurations to adapt the system to his needs without modifying the source code of the autopilot. This technology can be offered together with a documentation data pack available for remotely piloted aircrafts systems (RPAS), UAVs, drone certification and valid also for the system safety assessment (SSA). This technology can be offered with onsite advanced engineering services in order to help the partner with the integration of the autopilot system on his platform, and train his staff on how to operate and control the drone with the autopilot. The SME has identified the following topics in Horizon Europe in which they could provide its expertise and become a valuable partner for a consortium: HORIZON-CL3-2022-DRS-01-08: Enhanced situational awareness and preparedness of first responders and improved capacities to minimise time-to-react in urban areas in the case of CBRN-E-related events HORIZON-CL5-2021-D4-01-02: Industrialisation of deep renovation workflows for energy-efficient buildings HORIZON-CL5-2021-D6-01-13: Safe automation and human factors in aviation – intelligent integration and assistance HORIZON-CL5-2022-D6-01-07: More resilient aircraft and increased survivability HORIZON-CL5-2022-D6-02-05: Advanced multimodal network and traffic management for seamless door-to-door mobility of passengers and freight transport HORIZON-CL6-2021-GOVERNANCE-01-21: Potential of drones as multi-purpose vehicle – risks and added values HORIZON-CL6-2022-BIODIV-01-01: Observing and mapping biodiversity and ecosystems, with particular focus on coastal and marine ecosystems HORIZON-CL6-2021-COMMUNITIES-01-03: Smart XG, last-mile and edge solutions for remote farming, forestry and rural areas The Spanish company was a partner in various kinds of research and development projects, one of them is an autonomous parafoil development for the experimentation in Earth’s atmosphere of research technologies to be used in space programs. The project aim is to develop infrastructures to support research and testing for new technologies to be used in space programs. The spanish SME offers 15 years of experience in autonomous vehicles in the following sectors: ● Military. ● Urban Air Mobility. ● Research and development. ● Mapping. ● Agriculture. ● Certification process. The SME has ample experience in European, American, Asian and Middle Eastren projects. The Spanish company is offering these products and services under a research cooperation agreement to help drones manufacturers and related companies to get the best performance out of their projects.
