modular payload integration

Avidron develops Avidron Echo, a Group 3 VTOL unmanned aircraft, and Avidron ARC, its patent-pending communications architecture for secure beyond-line-of-sight command, telemetry, and full-motion video. Echo is built around ARC for long-endurance beyond-line-of-sight missions, modular payload integration, and lower-footprint field operations. ARC is a secure communications architecture for unmanned aircraft operating beyond line of sight over LEO networks.
