AVCI

AI-Powered Drone Control System

AVCI has been developed for loitering munitions (kamikaze UAV) manufacturers operating in the defense and aerospace sectors both domestically and abroad, as well as for companies conducting modernization without manufacturing UAVs. The system is designed to produce a modular flight computer that can adapt to any form factor without interfering with the manual driving characteristics of loitering UAVs. Integrated into the air platform as an independent module, AVCI can communicate with existing mission computers via its interface. This capability enables users’ loitering UAVs to autonomously reach the target after target selection and command, without human guidance. In addition, the system’s ability to operate without relying on GPS provides operational superiority in jammer environments.
