VFR HeliSAS Autopilot & Stability Augmentation

​This rugged, yet lightweight, Flight Control Computer (FCC) was designed to meet our customers demanding requirements and represents our most sophisticated product. These requirements included light weight, low cost, robustness against helicopter levels of shock and vibration, and ability to operate through challenging EMI environments that are commonly encountered near busy airports.

F O Engineering EETRS
(Extreme Environment
Thermal Regulation System)

​F O Engineering designed, integrated, and delivered key components for the M-ATV portable radar cooling system. The components included the Cooling System Controller, Compressor Motor Driver, and a 26V to 300V (3000W) Power Converter. These components were designed and tested for the harsh environments of ground-based vehicles. The System Controller communicated via an ethernet interface to the vehicle's management system.
The System Controller then monitored the many pressure and temperature sensors within the system and adjusted the compressor operating point to optimize cooling efficiency under a wide range of environments. The Power Converter took the available 26V from the vehicle and created the high-voltage power source required by the Compressor Motor Driver.
