Engineering Capabilities
Axion is a contract engineering partner for government agencies, enterprise organizations, academic institutions, and businesses of all sizes. Our team’s truest capabilities are actualized during the engineering process as hardware designers, software designers, engineers, project managers, and vertical-specific experts come together to build custom drone solutions for our partners. Our end-to-end engineering services include:
Hardware design: Component, product, and system design
Software design: Custom software and interface design
Development: Including integration with 3rd party platforms, PX4, Ardupilot, DJI and more
Modeling: 3D design and modeling of mechanical components
Support: Testing, training, documentation, and repairs
Prototyping
Whether we created the original design or not, we can build a prototype to make your vision a reality. We specialize in low volume, handmade hardware with a strong attention to detail. All you need is to provide us high-level specs of your components and we’ll craft a turnkey solution for your specific use case. We have the capabilities to source, supply, or fabricate any material necessary for your project.
DESIGN SOLUTIONS
Electronics Design
A core strength of our R&D team, electronics design brings together our combined experience designing microcontroller-based circuitry for aerospace, industrial, and remotely piloted vehicles.
We’re familiar with the most advanced electronics technologies, including: data acquisition, telemetry, radio remote control, radio communications, flight controllers, motor control, sensor integration, battery monitoring, and power supply design.
PCB Design
Printed circuit board design brings together electronics design and physical hardware – an intersection we excel at.
We use the most advanced technologies while keeping miniaturization in mind, empowering your drone to be highly effective while minimizing its physical weight and size.
Integration Services
When an off-the-shelf solution doesn’t adequately meet your specific needs, our Integration Services can help fill the gap left by mass produced technology. Our team of expert technicians can take existing hardware, such as cameras and airframes, and enable interoperability with an existing enterprise ecosystem or operational workflow.
Bring us your sensor, your drone regardless of make or model, or just your specific need, and we can engineer a solution for you. When terrestrial cameras or sensors won’t meet your specific use case, our bespoke solutions will help you efficiently capture the data you need from the air.
As a key component to Custom Engineering, our solutions include: Design solutions: Inclusive of hardware, design and fabrication
Mechanical solutions: Modeling and electrical wiring of mechanical components
Mechanical Design
Our team starts the airframe design process by first understanding the physical requirements of your project, and designs a mechanical model that empowers your system to operate. This process includes design, prototyping, and fabrication, making Draganfly an ideal end-to-end mechanical design partner.
We are skilled in manufacturing in the following methods:
• CNC and manual machining
• 3D printing
• Mold making
• Production fixture design and manufacturing
Software and Firmware Design
Our experience controlling and flying UAVs informs our user interface design approach, which puts you and your data needs at the forefront. We’re language and system agnostic, and select the right combination of tools and operating systems to meet your unique requirements. Some of the languages, tools, and modalities we’re familiar with include:
Software architectures: Real-time systems, client/server systems
Software development: C, C++, Python, QT
Web technologies: HTML5, JavaScript, jQuery, CSS, PHP, MySQL, Progressive Web Apps
Cross-platform mobile app development: Xamarin
Video streaming technologies: MPEG-2, MPEG-4, M-JPEG, Smooth Streaming
Communication protocols: TCP/IP, HTTP, RTSP, UPnP, Bluetooth, MAVLink, Modbus
