Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)

A new era of flight, avionics, and robotics

AEM's technology empowers UAVs to perform complex, long-range missions with unparalleled precision and safety.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) fly without a human pilot on board. They represent a transformative technology in both commercial and defense sectors, enabling missions that are too dull, dirty, or dangerous for human pilots. From military reconnaissance and surveillance to package delivery and agricultural monitoring, UAVs are reshaping our approach to aviation and robotics.

These sophisticated systems are composed of the airframe itself, a ground-based controller, and a communication system linking the two. A human operator on the ground sends commands to the unmanned aerial vehicle, which are then interpreted by the onboard flight controller. Navigation can be controlled manually by the operator or autonomously via pre-programmed flight paths, GPS, and sensors. The UAV's ability to operate remotely is its core function, allowing it to perform a wide range of tasks without the physical constraints and risks associated with human pilots.

Enabling a new era of flight, avionics, and robotics

AEM provides the critical electronic backbone for modern UAVs, with our RF components and hi-rel fuses empowering the success of complex missions. 

Our robust RF components act as the "nervous system", ensuring a secure and stable communication link for uninterrupted command and control. Our high-reliability fuses serve as a vital last line of defense, protecting sensitive electronics from catastrophic overloads. Together, these solutions empower UAVs with unwavering precision and safety.

  • RF filters are crucial for isolating the desired communication frequencies and rejecting unwanted noise or interference, which is especially important in crowded electromagnetic environments. 
  • Power amplifiers boost signal strength to ensure a stable and long-range connection between the UAV and its ground control station.
  • High-rel fuses are an indispensable safety and protection feature in a UAV's electrical system, acting as a last line of defense against electrical faults. They are specifically designed to protect sensitive circuitry against the harsh conditions of flight, including extreme temperature, vibration, and shock.
