Build your own autopilot.
Certifiable.
Certifiable.
Pulsar Factory allows you to modify Pulsar autopilot, to adapt it to your drone and your needs. While keeping most certification (DO-178C up to DAL A) credits.
Customization
Your drone is unique?
Its autopilot should also be.
To perfectly match your drone specificities, Pulsar Factory allows you to modify parts of the Pulsar autopilot.
Choose the components you want to modify, modify them through Pulsar Factory using C, Ada or Simulink, test them, fly them.
From code modification to flight tests in 5 minutes.

Certification
Once the autopilot has the behavior you want, and if it requires it, it is time to deal with certification (DO-178C up to DAL A).
Hionos will provide all the certification artefacts for components that have not been modified. Certification activities will only have to be performed on modified parts, saving up to 80% of time and costs spent on certification.

How it works
1. Choice of Components
We define together the components to be modified according to your project.
2. Configuration
We configure Pulsar Factory to fit your needs.
3. Installation & Training
We install Pulsar Factory on your premises and train your teams.
4. Development
You develop and test (on the ground or in flight) the new behavior of the autopilot.
5. Certification
We support you in the certification of new components and assist you in the certification process.
Components
Drivers
Manages sensors’ and other equipment data and status.
Ressource Monitor
Computes CPU Load.
Calibrator
Monitors the sensors calibration processes, providing their current calibration status thanks to recorded calibration parameters. When a sensor calibration is needed, computes and stores in Non-Volatile memory the values to be used in all future flight control computations.
Navigation Reference
Does a fusion of all informations provided by sensors to compute drone’s attitude (among other data).
State Machine
Manages states and transition (including failsafes).
Flight Control
Computes thrust, and corrections to apply on each axis depending on flight mode.
Motors Mixing
Compute speeds on each motor based on flight control thrust and attitude corrections to apply on each axis.
Logger
Writes system data in an external dedicated device for system health and behavior monitoring and post analysis.
Notification Manager
Manages light signal notification.
Ground Detector
Compute the ground detection (landed, in flight) based on inputs.
External Communication
External communication is bidirectional and allows the application to exchange information.
