Focus Area

Aerial platforms, whether manned or unmanned, are subject to the highest safety standards due to their vulnerability to single-point failures, which can lead to catastrophic outcomes. The critical nature of these systems necessitates stringent oversight during the design and development phases and building robust AUTOPILOT systems with considerable redundancies for reliability and adequate fail-safes minimizing the single points of failure.

URDL is positioned as a leader in the field, with its rich UAV experience, to build industry grade custom autopilots for UAV systems in a collaborative approach addressing the challenges of autopilot development. To achieve this end, URDL strives harnessing the cutting-edge advancements in every field - embedded hardware, sensors, RTOS, advanced control strategies, guidance & navigation, AI, with a model-based systems engineering (MBSE) approach leading to the development of robust autopilot systems and also providing necessary services & tested products/solutions integrating into ecosystem.

Technology Focus

Exploring state-of-the-art embedded micros controllers/ micro-processors, embedded platforms, sensors, real-time operating systems, advanced control strategies, AI/Fuzzy technologies for developing cost-effective subsystems like Autopilot, GPS/INS. AHRS, 3-axes Gimbal.. more

Services Focus

With its wide spread acceptance of UAV technology in various applications, there is considerable R&D effort in arriving at an optimal configuration and new product development. Any new product development involves a development -life-cycle starting from configuration design & optimization through modelling & simulation to control systems design & development, implementation, field testing & validation.

With is vast experience in complete development life cycle of unmanned systems, URDL is set to offer services at any point of the development life cycle in collaborative or turn-key mode.

Products Focus

The major focus of URDL and very reason for its existence is to build advanced , high performance autopilots with several variant configurations to suit the evolving requirements of UAV platforms. Besides AUTOPILOT, URDL has AHRS, GPS/INS, AHRS, Gimbal, Custom Payloads, Vision Based Object Tracking systems .. more
