UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) designed for Aerial Surveillance and real-time intelligence gathering have boosted defense capabilities through improved accuracy. Advancements in image analytics and sensor fusion allow these UAVs to make independent decisions, enhancing their reliability in harsh weather. Efficient power management for Electric VTOLs and rapid fuel needs have led to a complete shift towards electric UAVs. Additionally, faster design cycles mean quicker deployment of new drone platforms.

The challenges faced are the need for mature algorithms that require testing in various environments, and the limited battery life is also a hindrance for long flights such as aerial surveys or monitoring large areas.

Tata Elxsi offers a comprehensive suite of UAV sensors, including LiDAR, high-definition cameras, radar, and ultrasonic equipment. These sensors work together to create a precise understanding of the surrounding environment for autonomous vehicles. Our expert testing team can assist you in evaluating your algorithms across diverse environments, ensuring their efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Additionally, we provide LEXI, a digital twin platform, that leverages real-world data to model the performance of Electric VTOLs and battery systems. This allows for rapid simulation and validation of their performance.
