Description
The Redundant 4X Veronte Autopilot is a triple redundant version of the Veronte Autopilot. It includes three complete Veronte Autopilot modules coupled with a dissimilar arbiter to detect system failures. The arbiter then selects the module best suited for control.
Complete Autopilot Features
The redundant Veronte Autopilot includes three Veronte Autopilot modules. These modules includes all sensors and features available in the standard Veronte Autopilot.
Veronte Autopilot embeds all sensors and microprocessors for a completely enclosed module. It is a compact solution capable of controlling any unmanned vehicle:
Advanced Features
- Fully autonomous flight control
- Custom automatic actions triggered on event detection
- Custom control channels
- Configurable flight phases
- Compatible with automatic and manual control
- RTK-Like positioning
- Adaptive control
- Sense and avoid algorithms
4x Full Redundancy
The electronics in the 4X Veronte Autopilot are the same as in the simple module but features three complete Veronte Autopilots for full redundancy. Each module includes all sensors and processing capabilities.
All four modules are managed by a dissimilar microprocessor. Advanced voting algorithms manage the module in charge of vehicle control. This microprocessor compares and processes data from all modules in real-time and discards any autopilot module with undesired performance.
Datalink communications are also redundant. It is possible to install 3 equal radios or to combine from compatible radio modules. The 4X Autopilot allows for two radios — one operating in the 900MHz frequency and one operating int the 2.4GHz frequency. As such, if there is any operating issue in either frequency the alternate will take control.
An additional I/O port is available to connect an external control system. It provides the system with full dissimilarity for high demanding environments as required by civil aviation authorities.
Advanced Safety and Reliability
The Veronte Autopilot’s triple redundant core extends the MTBF in the system. This control module is also suitable for both fail-safe and fail-operational missions.
The autopilot is compliant with the most demanding aeronautical regulations for onboard electronics. Veronte Autopilot is compliant with DO254 and DO178 regulations up to DAL B:
- DO178: Software Considerations in Airborne Systems and Equipment Certification
- DO254: Design Assurance Guidance for Airborne Electronic Hardware

About Embention
Embention develops components and critical systems for UAS (Unmanned Aircraft Systems). Founded in 2007 and based in Spain, Embention began with the development of an autonomously guided firefighting bomb, Flamingo. This technology was applied to the development of equipment for unmanned aircrafts, and complete UAV / RPAS.
