Avionics & Mission Systems
Designed for advanced uncrewed aircraft, Kratos avionics and control systems offer low size, weight, and power (SwaP), military-standard (MIL-STD) compliance, reliable performance, and flexible integration for autonomous, mission-critical operations.
Readiness Delivered
Proven Performance
Trusted in advanced uncrewed aircraft to deliver precise, real-time control and autonomous fail-safe behavior in demanding mission environments.
Mission-Ready Integration
Interfaces seamlessly with datalinks, sensors, payloads, and command and control (C2) systems, reducing integration timelines and accelerating platform readiness.
Modular Scalable Architecture
Flexible designs support a range of platform classes, from attritable drones to multi-role tactical unmanned aerial systems (UAS)—adapting to evolving mission needs.
Rugged & Standards Compliant
Built for harsh environments with MIL-STD-810 and 461 compliance, passive cooling, and SWaP-optimized form factors that meet operational and deployment demands.
Autopilots, Transponders, & Sensors
Kratos autopilots and integrated flight systems deliver reliable autonomous control and precision for advanced uncrewed aircraft, while the Miss Distance Scoring Sensor (MDSS) enhances mission effectiveness by providing real-time scoring data for various projectile types. Kratos’ high-reliability transponders ensure robust command and control capabilities, meeting military standards for aerospace operations trusted by the Department of Defense.
Autopilots
Kratos autopilots, including integrated flight controllers and unmanned vehicle mission computers (UVMCs), provide trusted autonomous control, assured recovery, precision maneuvering, and deep sensor and datalink integration optimized for advanced uncrewed multi-mission aircraft.
Miss Distance Scoring Sensor
The Miss Distance Scoring Sensor (MDSS) is a Doppler radar sensor on flight test vehicles that sends real-time scoring data to the Automated Ground Scoring Station (AGSS). It reliably measures up to 90 projectiles per minute within 75 feet of aerial vehicles, including ballistic and cruise missiles and targets. Part of the Kratos Scoring System Suite, it enables rapid, accurate scoring via AutoScore for air-to-air, air-to-ground, and air-to-sea missions up to Mach 7.
Transponders
Kratos develops and provides mission-critical, high-reliability datalink and c-band transponders for command and control, radar tracking, and communications for advanced airborne platforms in Line of Sight and Over-the-Horizon modes. Kratos transponders are built to military standards and trusted by the Department of Defense (DoD) for reliability, survivability, and mission-critical aerospace operations.
