NLR can support you in developing your Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) including certification. We can assist in designing and prototyping your RPAS/UAS, offer our platform as a testbed for your sensor equipment, autopilot integration, and develop sensors and systems specifically for RPAS/UAS applications. Additionally, our facilities enable us to perform environmental tests such as EMI/EMC, ESD, vibration, or shock tests on your RPAS/UAS, and conduct sensor calibration on components like IMU, airspeed, altitude and more.
NLR can support you with the steps needed to complete the related certification process, see certification support.
NLR can support you with:
- Leveraging over 30 years of experience in flight testing, system integration and certification support to advance your RPAS/UAS projects.
- Utilising fixed-wing RPAS/UAS platforms to perform test flights and validate your systems and sensors.
- Designing and creating airworthy electronics and cabling solutions tailored to your RPAS/UAS needs.
- Developing and testing your RPAS/UAS software using our hardware-in-the-loop facilities.
- Conducting environmental testing for RPAS/UAS, including EMC, ESD, vibration, and shock testing, at our dedicated test facility.
- Calibrating RPAS/UAS sensors, such as IMU, airspeed, and altitude sensors, at our specialized test and calibration facilities.
- Reporting the steps necessary to complete a modification process or complete certification process to arrive at the desired certificates.
To support certification process and activities NLR developed a Certification Management Application (CMA).
