Smart energy management
Power management on such ground-powered (tethered) systems as DORUK and DOLUNAY is important for the uninterrupted operation of the system on a 24/7 basis.

Designing the power management systems, as well as the related hardware and software, in its products through its own means and resources, Otonom Teknoloji keeps improving itself also in the field of energy management by following developments in such technologies as fuel cells. Typically, unmanned systems operate without connecting to a grid, which is why energy management is a critical function in these systems. For example, TEPEGÖZ, which features flexible solar panels on the upper part of its fuselage, uses and stores the energy it generates during the day for use at night.

Sensor data processing
Unmanned systems should somehow sense the surrounding area.

This is required to ensure that the unmanned system is carrying out its mission, and has priority even than carrying out payload-related functions. For example, the fact that the interior pressures of TEPEGÖZ and DORUK are a few millibars higher than the exterior pressure is of vital importance for these platforms to preserve their aerodynamic forms. If the pressure difference is low, the fuselage of such platforms may become deformed, while if the pressure difference is high, the material used in the fuselage may lose its durability and the fuselage may burst. In this regard, the sensors used to monitor interior and exterior pressure, and the processing of data obtained through these sensors are critical capabilities. Otonom Teknoloji has extensive experience and expertise in various types of sensor systems, such as optical and acoustic sensors, and in the processing of related data.

 
 

Navigation

Navigation is about identifying the location and orientation of a platform through embedded sensors, and the provision of necessary corrections and inputs through actuators.

Issues like no-fly zones and exceedances of the flight envelope are also covered under navigation. In tethered systems, additional issues like lifting the platform, monitoring it from the ground and moving it safely to the anchoring station are also covered under navigation. Otonom Teknoloji offers unique and field-proven solutions and capabilities in the field of navigation of such active systems as TEPEGÖZ, which has its own actuators, as well as in the navigation of aerostats and tethered UAVs.

Command and Control
Otonom Teknoloji carries out command and control functions through its modular software and hardware products, which can be adapted to various applications.

These JEUS-compatible units enable the simultaneous control of numerous platforms.

Digital communications
Unmanned systems need to communicate with their operators, as well as with other manned and unmanned platforms.

Especially in the presence of complex payloads, communication requirements may reach very high levels. With a view to meeting its customer needs, Otonom Teknoloji develops communication solutions specific to the platforms on which it works.
