Proven records with Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Testing. 

WinSoft has been involved in UAV testing and subassembly electronic design since 1994. Our broad knowledge enables us to design and build UAV test platforms, UAV electrical/ electronic sub assemblies and software related packages.
Some of the platforms we have been supporting are:
  • BQM-74E
  • A160 Hummingbird Vertical Takeoff
  • Killer Bee UAV
  • BQM 34A Firebee
This support includes the design of an automatic test platform for a production line, design of ground station navigation map, design of catapult-style launcher software and the design of power distribution unit.
Additionally, we supported the upgrade of the Automated Final Assembly System Test (AFAST) Station for the vehicle factory acceptance testing of the United States Navy BQM-74E Unmanned Air Vehicle Target System.

During 1998, WinSoft supported this project with a major upgrade which included GPS testing, and the new vehicle digital design. The upgrade enables the customer to reduce vehicle test time from 2 days to below 30 minutes, while maintaining the quality and system integrity of the product.

During 2001, we upgraded the system (software and hardware) to support the Firebee vehicle BQM-34 for the United States Air-Force. The tester was enhanced to support this new project while maintaining the testing capabilities of the other two types of UAVs. Testing time was reduced from 4-5 days to 90 minutes.
​
Through the use of the existing testers with some modifications, WinSoft was successful in meeting the new requirements while eliminating the need for new testers, therefore realizing a savings of 50-60%.
