GS111R is the newest member of Athena® UAS autopilot and sensor suite product family, which has logged millions of flight hours on dozens of operational unmanned aircraft, including RQ-21 Blackjack, RQ-7B Shadow, and MQ-1C Gray Eagle. It weighs 0.56 lbs, has the same small footprint as GS111m, and features a full suite of autopilot sensors tested for long term stability and high performance under harsh environmental conditions.
GS111R state estimation software uses high-integrity algorithms from our commercial primary AHRS products, which ensure that flight critical states, such as pitch, roll, vertical speed, and altitude remain accurate regardless of aiding sensor errors. GS111R comes with an optional internal multi-constellation/multi-frequency GNSS receiver, which provides dual-antenna heading and moving base RTK capabilities. The unit can also interface with a range of external GNSS and GPS only receivers, as well as other peripherals.
When used as a UAS autopilot, GS111R hosts proven Collins autoflight software and relies on sophisticated design and simulation tools. Our autopilot software reapplication process has been proven on a wide range of aircraft, from tactical maritime drones to tailsitters with ducted fans and free wings.
When you need a trusted autopilot or a primary sensor suite for your UAS, GS111R from Collins Aerospace is a reliable choice.
