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.
