June 2, 2020 | AUVSI News

UAS and software design and certification expert Autonodyne LLC has partnered with Robotic Skies to develop field maintenance and other support services for Autonodyne’s mission-critical systems and technologies.

Autonodyne provides the certification platform for on-board mission computers, software, and ground control systems. This platform allows UAS to co-exist with manned operations in the global airspace infrastructure. Autonodyne works with operators of both small and large commercial UAS and advanced aerial mobility aircraft.

With experience certifying more than 75 manned systems with unrestricted flight approval in the National and International Airspace, Autonodyne is taking that knowledge and applying it to the unmanned aerospace market. The company is particularly knowledgeable in next-generation aviation software that enables smart automation and autonomous vehicle control.

“We are focused on building architectures to support the unrestricted flight of unmanned aircraft in the national airspace,” says Autonodyne CEO, Steve Jacobson.

“Robotic Skies is an ideal partner in this effort because, in addition to giving us the ability to scale up our customer support program quickly, they understand the nuances of operating in regulated airspace.”

Through partnerships with UAS manufacturers and existing manned aviation repair stations, Robotic Skies provides enterprise UAS fleet operators with local turnkey field service support. The company utilizes traditional aviation methodology to make UAS flight operations safe, productive, and compliant with regulatory maintenance requirements.

“Our companies share a common background in manned aviation,” says Robotic Skies Founder and CEO, Brad Hayden.

“The partnership with Autonodyne is a unique opportunity to combine the experience of our teams and bring the aviation safety mindset and best-practices to advancing autonomous unmanned aviation technology.”
