Professional Drone Autopilot 4x
Redundant Flight Control System
Veronte Autopilot 4x is a redundant control system for critical installations on drones and eVTOL aircraft. The redundant and continuously operating autopilot architecture has been designed to avoid single points of failure.
Custom Control Strategy
Configured by the user through a block diagram flow. The model based design tool allows for flexible and personalized system customization according to specific user needs. Custom C++ code can also be loaded for advanced customization options.
Aircraft Certification
Designed in compliance with manned aviation certification standards . The DO178C and DO254 compliance up to DAL B (DAL A ongoing) and DO160 provides airworthiness evidence needed to face an eVTOL / drone certification.
Autonomous Flight & Fly-by-wire
Flexible architecture in Veronte Autopilot 4x permits to configure custom control modes for both remote and onboard control. It includes autonomous flight, fly-by-wire and manual control modes, benign configurable to eVTOL and drone needs.
All Kinds Of Vehicle
The use of model-based design in Veronte Autopilot permits to create custom control phases and aircraft layouts so it can be easily adapted to any aircraft, even if it is a manned or unmanned vehicle. All this without source code modifications.

Critical eVTOL & Drone Control
The configurable control logics and the compliance with aircraft certification standards makes Veronte Autopilot the perfect choice for the control of autonomous vehicles operating in critical scenarios or aiming to pass a certification program.
eVTOL Flight Control
Installation on manned vehicles for autonomous control or fly-by-wire operations
MALE & HALE UAV Autopilot
Control of high altitude drones, even for those operating in the stratosphere
Urban Air Mobility Operations
Safe operation for logistics and drones operating in critical and populated areas
Aircraft Certification
eVTOL and Drone Airworthiness Certification
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.

Peripheral Compatibility
Veronte Autopilot is agnostic to the external peripherals. The configuration tools permit connecting & external device.
Comunicaciones Extendidas
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.
