STONY MOUNTAIN, Manitoba, Canada. Autopilot maker MicroPilot is nearly done with its five-year effort to achieve DO-178C Design Assurance Level B certification for its upcoming MP2128 HELI3 autopilot, a level of certification that will enable operators of remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to obtain authorization from regulators to conduct missions in higher-risk areas where RPA/UAV operations are prohibited, such as over population centers.
Aimed at unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), MicroPilot’s True Hardware in the Loop (trueHWIL•) offers integrators and researchers a UAV autopilot simulator.
