Background
Drones are one of the fastest-growing fields in the defense industry. Every gram counts, every watt counts, and the system must work in any field conditions. ProtoMakers develops electronic boards and firmware for drones and the payloads they carry for clients in this field.
The challenge
- Weight and volume: electronics that fit a small body without compromising on protection.
- Electrical noise: powerful motors run right next to sensitive sensors.
- Real time: motor control, sensor reading and communication that must meet hard deadlines.
- Reliability: a failure in the air is not a failure you can fix on the spot.
What we develop
- Compact control boards that separate power areas from sensor areas.
- Real-time firmware for motor control, motion-sensor reading and signal processing.
- Communication between subsystems: CAN, RS422 and high-speed UART.
- Algorithms for computation, navigation and data acquisition.
About the details
Defense projects are under NDA. We are happy to present relevant examples in a private meeting.
