Aspen Avionics and Sensurion Aerospace said this week they have entered a partnership to work together to create certified avionics for unmanned aerial vehicles. The partners said they plan to create FAA-certified autopilots, communications, navigation and surveillance systems, for small, medium and large aircraft.Aspen CEO John Uczekaj told AVweb on Wednesday the partnership is still in its early stages and no particular partners or products have been identified yet. "It's anticipated that drones that operate beyond line of sight will need certified avionics for that mission, and the demand for that will occur," he said. "For us this is a major growth market, with great opportunities for companies like ours."
