AEVEX

The AEVEX Navigation and Autonomy Center specializes in developing advanced algorithms for autonomous systems, focusing on navigation, autonomy, controls, sensor fusion, and computer vision. The organization creates solutions that integrate information from vision-based algorithms, inertial measurement units, LiDAR, radar, and additional sensors to deliver real-time state estimation, perception, planning, and control. These technologies support autonomous platforms operating within complex environments, including GPS-degraded and GPS-denied settings.

AEVEX applies technical capabilities in algorithm design, machine learning, and embedded systems to enhance autonomy for unmanned aerial systems and robotics platforms. Engineering teams develop computer vision-based localization, simultaneous localization and mapping, and deep learning models for real-time navigation. The organization also integrates data from cameras, inertial measurement units, global navigation satellite systems, and alternative positioning, navigation, and timing sources, performing simulation, software validation, and flight test campaigns to support research and prototyping efforts.
