Embention Veronte Autopilot DRx Distributed Triple-Redundant Flight Control System
Physically segregated 3-node distributed redundant autopilot (75x64x40 mm & 198 g per node, IP67) eliminating zonal ballistic, fire, and EMI single-point failures. Supplied across the United Kingdom by Torquety Ltd with application engineering review, 3D STEP CAD support, and commercial quotations in Pounds Sterling (GBP).
Technical Overview: Veronte Autopilot DRx
The Embention Veronte Autopilot DRx (Hardware v4.10, Official Part Numbers P008285 without DAA, P008625 Remote ID, P008626 ADS-B) is a Distributed Redundant Flight Control System consisting of three physically separated autopilot modules installed in segregated zones across the airframe. Unlike single-box redundant autopilots, the DRx architecture ensures full zonal survivability against localized fire, lightning strike, electromagnetic interference, or ballistic impact.
Each compact 75 x 64 x 40 mm (198 g, IP67) DRx node contains its own independent flight computer, dual-band RTK GNSS, triple IMU/magnetometer suite, air data sensors, and embedded voter, allowing decentralized wiring directly to local smart actuators via CAN bus without a central voting box. Supplied across the UK aerospace and defence sectors by Commercial-grade open-source flight controllers and non-certified power electronics lack deterministic real-time partitioning, hardware redundancy, and traceability artefacts required by UK CAA CAP 722, SORA SAIL III–VI, and NATO STANAG airworthiness authorities.
Packaged for strict SWaP-C airframe budgets (SWaP-C optimised, low-mass, DO-160G aerospace grade), the Veronte Autopilot DRx (P008285 / P008625 / P008626) integrates seamlessly across the Veronte avionics bus ecosystem. As Embention's official UK commercial and application engineering partner, TORQUETY LTD (UK Company No. 17124704, London WC2H 9JQ & Oxford +44 1865 679185) supplies hardware units, SOI certification data packages, HIL/SIL benches, and UK technical integration support priced in Pounds Sterling (GBP).
