UAV/UAS Capabilities

Vanilla Unmanned Aircraft pre flight.jpg

Platform maintains over 43,000 sq. ft. of aviation component and systems manufacturing space, capable of supporting various UAV, UAS and pilot-less drone design, production and modification. We provide small UAV PART 107 Class 1 and 2 flight services for clients who need inspections or systems flow (up to 55 lbs. and under 400 feet in Class G Airspace).  Our design and production capabilities and aerial platform support facilities, includes the following:

Design, development and production of light-weight aviation-rated, Carbon Fiber components, assemblies, mountings and structural parts.

5 Axis CNC machine and Water Jet for cutting, shaping, or bending components from 8-inch aviation-rated steel or aluminum, for UAV replacement and modification components.

Platform also owns and operates Vanilla Unmanned a World Record-setting ultra-long flight endurance Unmanned Air Vehicle ISR platform.

  • Developed and implemented Design and Analysis of UAV as part of vehicle Reliability, Maintainability, Serviceability, Quality Index and payload verification

Drone operation verification

UAV/UAS Operational Verification

Our staff is certified to operate, maintain, and verify Tiger Shark, Small Family/Scale UAVs and DJI UAVs and integrated sensors, flight controllers, transmission sets and developer sets.

Qualified UAS sensor operator for:

  • RF Link

  • Video communications

  • Satellite communications

  • EO/IR sensor operations

Platform UAV Denied Environment Mode

UAV/UAS Systems Engineering

Developed and maintain proprietary code for use in UAS Facial Recognition systems, providing high resolution / high definition facial feature capture and communication to ground forces.

Designed UAS capability for operation in Denied Environment Mode. This allows UAV/UAS independent operations over terrain where Global Positioning Services (GPS), Instrument Navigation Systems (INS) and communication signals are denied or unavailable to the aircraft, while in flight.  This allows the UAV autonomous operations and performance of programmed mission functions uninterrupted, based on internal navigation and mission sensors.
