Avionics & Systems
CATEC has a large experience developing UAS/RPAS technologies. Avionics and Systems Division consists of more than 20 engineers and technicians developing new technologies to be transferred to companies. Several success stories have been achieved during last five years.
Avionics and Systems Division has also a wide experience working on European projects (FP7, H2020 SESAR and CleanSky), having participating in 15 European projects since 2008 (coordinating 3 of them).
Avionics and Systems Division has two main strategic lines: Unmanned Aerial Systems, and the development of new ICT technologies to improve efficiency of aeronautical manufacturing processes.
EQUIPMENT
Avionics and System Division has state of the art equipment and infrastructure that allow collaborating with the most relevant companies of this sector, to both development projects and also technology transfer.
CATEC counts with HW & SW laboratories with the equipment necessary for the development and integration of on-board systems in drones/UAS. The laboratories count with all the necessary tools, such as rapid prototyping machines, soldering and cabling tools, electronic instrumentation, etc. Its extension is 1.000m2 approximately.
