Unmanned from Manned
сonversion of piloted helicopters to drones
UVR makes it possible to convert any manned helicopter to an unmanned aircraft system. We perform a full-cycle conversion, as a result a customer gets a drone that performs automated flights.

Main stages of helicopter conversion
1
Dismantlement of unnecessary onboard equipment from the initial manned helicopter.
2
Customization and installation of special onboard equipment on the initial helicopter (inertial measurement unit (IMU), satellite navigation system, servo drives, ERS system, control boards, onboard AI computer unit, FPV cameras, data-link modem, etc.).
3
Integration of the installed onboard equipment with the original onboard systems and elements of the initial helicopter.
4
Customization of low- and high-level autopilot for the UAS autonomous navigation and control system (providing functions of inertial and satellite navigation, autorotation, ERS management, flight without GPS, etc.).
5
Customization of additional onboard equipment and payloads (if necessary).
6
Customization of the control software for the UAS ground control station (GCS).
7
In-flight testing and adjustment of the UAS as an assembly.
8
Training courses for UAS operators and technicians.
Conversion process outcomes
