Payload integration for a VTOL survey UAV
The task
A mapping operator needed a VTOL UAV to carry a LiDAR and a mapping camera at once, losing no more than ten minutes of endurance.
Engineering solution
We designed a shared mount and power board, synchronised both sensors with the flight controller and wrote a mission template that triggers each sensor per flight phase.
Challenges faced
Vibration from the lift motors blurred the camera in hover. We moved the mount onto isolators tuned on a shaker table and changed the trigger logic to fire only in cruise.
The result
Both payloads fly together with a nine minute endurance penalty. Survey output per sortie roughly doubled.

Joint mission control for a UAV and a surface drone
The task
A research programme wanted one operator to run an aerial scout and a surface vessel on the same mission plan.
Engineering solution
A shared mission format and one control application with two vehicle panels. The aerial scout flags a target, the surface vessel receives an approach task, and the operator approves or cancels it.
Challenges faced
Link budgets did not match. The aerial radio was solid at range while the surface link failed behind wave crests, so plans went out of sync. We moved to store and forward messaging with explicit acknowledgement.
The result
Both vehicles now finish a mission with one operator and no radio babysitting. The research team published two seasons of field data with it.

Avionics supply and retrofit for a training fleet
The task
A flight school needed to replace obsolete navigation and communication units across six aircraft within one winter.
Engineering solution
We sourced certified units, prepared the installation data package and supported the maintenance organisation during the retrofit and ground tests.
Challenges faced
Two units arrived with a different software standard than ordered. We caught it at incoming inspection and had replacements before the aircraft were opened.
The result
All six aircraft returned to service before the season, with a complete documentation set for the authority.
