4x Redundant
Hardware design includes 4x redundancy. It embeds three complete Veronte Autopilot cores and allows connectivity for a 4th external autopilot. The external core adds dissimilarity and permits to use Veronte 4x as a backup unit for certification.
Certification Evidence
Developed according to the DO178C / ED12 and DO254 / ED80 certification standards with DAL B compliance (DAL A ongoing) and tested according to the DO160, the certification datapack includes the evidence required for a certification program.
No Single Point Of Failure
Hardware design is performed so the system does not have a single point of failure. The architecture makes it robust to a failure in any component in the system, even to a failure in the arbiter board in charge of the redundancy management.

Sense & Avoid
Veronte Autopilot includes avoidance algorithms for the automatic evasion of obstacles nearby. The obstacle detection can be feed with the embedded ADS-B/Remote ID module or through an external source such as radar or vision.
GNSS Denied Operations
Position estimation algorithms merge INS with wind estimation and other sensors in reducing the position drifting in the event of a GNSS loss. It can be merged with external data sources to improve the position accuracy with no GNSS signal.
Companion Computer
For applications requiring advanced computing power or communications with external computers, such as custom user interfaces, Veronte Autopilot uses STANAG 4586. Simpler devices can be interfaced with custom message tools.
Peripheral Compatibility
Veronte Autopilot is agnostic to the external peripherals. The configuration tools permit connecting any external device.

Extended Communications
Veronte Autopilot 4x includes a wide variety of inputs and outputs. RS232, RS485, CAN Bus, I2C, PWM, Analog, Digital I/O… are available and can be easily configured for interfacing with all kinds of devices. The Veronte CEX module is designed for large vehicles so the number of I/O available can be easily expanded and complex system architectures can be defined.
LOS & BLOS Flights
A wide variety of communication channels can be used. Veronte Tracker is the preferred solution for long range LOS communication. The internal 4G module enables BLOS communications with no additional hardware. External third party LOS, 4G/LTE and Satcom datalink modules can be used for communications with no range limitations.
