flightTEK®
Tightly
integrated, power-packed flight control for UAVs
The "command central" of
L-3 Geneva's tightly integrated flight control solution, the flightTEK® Flight
Control System, transforms unmanned aerial vehicles into powerful, "smart" machines. flightTEK can
autonomously fly and control a variety of unmanned systems
varying in size and capability ranging from standard fixed-wing
vehicles to mini air vehicles, loitering munitions, airships,
seaplanes and more.
flightTEK includes L-3 Geneva's Variable Autonomy Control
System (VACS™) architecture, which is more than just an autopilot,
but serves as a true mission management system.
With flightTEK, UAVs of all kinds can perform highly
complex, autonomous behavior previously thought impossible:
- Maneuver with variable levels of control autonomy, enabling
operators to effectively manage and control the UAV
- Fly the sensor
- Follow extremely precise paths
- Respond easily and quickly to in-flight re-tasking
- Autotake off and landing capability

Future developments in the works
will allow unmanned vehicles to:
- Track targets on the move with ground moving target tracking
(GMTT)
- Avoid terrain with autonomous ground collision avoidance
- See & Avoid System Interface
- Land on water with our sea-based landing capability
flightTEK measures just
3.5 inches by 4.75 inches. It includes multiple input/output
capabilities, giving flightTEK an interface with the
UAV's mission payload, communication system, propulsion system,
and control effectors.
