High Performance Airborne Vehicle Control Systems

Kratos has developed advanced autopilots and mission computers for a range of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), high-performance aerial targets, and unmanned aerial combat systems for the U.S. Department of Defense and allied military forces worldwide. Our airborne vehicle control systems provide varying levels of integration and capability, such as full manual vehicle control from the Command and Control (C2) system on the ground or, for more advanced mission requirements, complete flight profiles that can be pre-programmed to provide fully autonomous operation. These robust vehicle control systems are available in a variety of configurations, ranging from processing-only units with external radio frequency (RF) modules (data link transponders) to fully integrated units with RF transceivers and global positioning receivers.
