Guidance, Navigation & Control

Veronte Autopilots are developed in strict compliance with aviation safety standards, including DO-178C (software), DO-254 (electronic hardware), and DO-160G (environmental conditions). By integrating these systems, manufacturers of unmanned systems (UAV, USV, UGV) and fly-by-wire manned aircraft (eVTOL) can significantly reduce the complexity, cost, and time-to-market associated with achieving airworthiness and type certification (supporting up to DAL-B design assurance, with pathways to DAL-A).

The ecosystem offers scalable redundancy tiers to guarantee mission success in safety-critical operations. The compact Autopilot 1x features sensor-level redundancy with triple IMUs and dual GNSS. The Autopilot 4x adds fail-operational capability through triplicated hardware cores overseen by a dissimilar arbiter, eliminating single points of failure. The Autopilot DRx takes this further with distributed redundancy, allowing modules to be placed in separate zones of the aircraft to survive localized structural damage, fire, or electrical faults.

Veronte Autopilots are highly versatile and ready for “Plug ‘n Fly” integration in any vehicle configuration. Using Embention’s model-based design environment, developers can visually customize guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) loops, custom flight phases, and failsafes without writing C/C++ code. For advanced requirements, custom C++ user-code modules can be integrated directly into the autopilot core, maintaining separation and compatibility with the certified base software.
