U AS are quickly becoming a way of life. Not only has the military expanded their use, the civilian sector is now developing UAS for missions, ranging
from agriculture to law enforcement to search and rescue, without risking lives and injury. Congress has approved widespread UAS use by late 2015. As a result, the FAA is working to mandate guidance for their use in civilian airspace.
Our experience lies in software design, development and testing that helps ensure Unmanned Aircraft Systems will continue to meet their mission objectives safely and effectively. Our engineering teams can help develop and certify both airborne and ground-based systems through our extensive experience with:
• Flight management systems
• Health monitoring systems
• Engine controls
UAS guidelines for operation and ground control stations
• DO-178C Level A
• DO-304
• DO-254
• DO-278A
• NATO STANAG 4671

IData Visual Systems® for UAS Ground Control Station Displays
Command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR) systems, whether for situational awareness or unmanned vehicle control, require powerful digital maps, 3-D terrain, standard symbology sets, flexible symbology overlays, video handling, and powerful user interaction. IData® offers developers comprehensive built-in capabilities to create tomorrow’s UAS ground control station display systems, such as full-alpha blending and automatic geo-registration of models when draping charts over 3-D terrain.
Tactical Synthetic Vision System (TSVS) for UAS
The Tactical Synthetic Vision System (TSVS) can be integrated into a UAS ground control station to display the vehicle’s position relative to terrain, urban features, obstacles, controlled airspace, special use airspace, and threat volumes. In doing so, TSVS offers a real-time image that eliminates atmospheric obscurations and synthesizes information from multiple sources into a single, clear, accurate 3-D display of the external environment.
In simple terms, TSVS allows the UAS ground pilot to see through haze, clouds, fog, rain, snow, dust or smoke, and simulates what is seen during good weather in daylight. The 3-D image can be viewed from the pilot’s perspective (ego-centric view) or from a wingman’s perspective (exo-centric view).
TSVS has the capability to process UAS sensor information and TDL information into the image to provide the operator an enhanced view of the operational area, including the display of land points, air platforms, and friendly, neutral and hostile land tracks.
TSVS offers critical situational awareness to decision makers in ground control stations. Having complete, accurate and up to the minute awareness of the surroundings is essential to UAS mission success.
