1. Overview
Veronte is the main element in our Flight Control System for UAS. As it can be seen in the
diagram, Veronte hardware is used both in the ground segment (Ground) and onboard the
UAV (either Air or Vision).

Figure 1: Veronte FCS Overview
Verontecontains all the electronics and sensors needed in order to properly execute all the
functions needed to control the UAV. A Veronte-based FCS contains the following elements:
 Veronte (Air): it executes in real time all the guidance, navigation and control algorithms
for the carrying airframe, acting on the control surfaces and propulsion system and
processing the signals from different sensors: accelerometers, gyroscopes,
magnetometer, static pressure, dynamic pressure, GPS (EGNOS/Galileo compatible).
 Veronte (Vision): alternative to Veronte Air. Same functionalities as Air plus video/vision
capabilities.
 Veronte(Ground): apart from linking to other flying Veronte units and supporting manual
and arcade modes with conventional joysticks, it can also control a directional antenna in
order to expand the maximum range. It communicates to Veronte Pipe (software for
ground segment mission management).
 Veronte Pipe: software for mission management at the ground segment. It monitors
flying vehicles in real time and can also reproduce past missions in an offline manner. It
is also the graphical user interface where commands and flight plans are produced.
