Avionics

Rugged and versatile avionics units serve as the core of Ecliptic's product family.  

Typical applications involve a central avionics unit interfaced to one or more additional avionics units, sensors or mechanical devices on the host platform.

These units are tailored via hardware and software configuration options to control and monitor a given subsystem on the host platform while avoiding complicated interfaces with the other platform subsystems, ultimately simplifying the integration, test and operational phases of the project's lifecycle.

Our slice-based avionics architecture (PC-104 form factor) provides enhanced modularity and configuration flexibility in a small, light package.
