Sensurion Aerospace Taps Black Swift Technologies As Its Advanced Flight Management System Partner For The FAA Certified MAGPIE MP-1 UAS

Sensurion Aerospace and Black Swift Technologies (BST) have collaborated to engineer, flight-test, and customize a new advanced UAS flight management system (FMS) for Beyond-Line-of-Sight (BLOS) operations. The result is an easy-to-use tablet and touch-screen control interface for preflight programming, rerouting and sensor-controlled tracking, as well as auto-take off and auto-land capabilities.

Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) - “We are thrilled to employ Black Swift Technology’s most innovative flight control system in the MAGPIE,” noted Captain Joe Burns, Sensurion CEO. “Our goal is to make advanced fixed-wing UAS flight easy for our users in all segments of their operations. Giving them added control features and autonomous landing capability puts a whole new dimension to their value proposition. Whether they are flying precision agriculture, survey and mapping, or law enforcement patrol and interdiction missions, knowing they can operate at a moment’s notice from virtually anywhere, is a real enabler for them.”

“Black Swift Technologies is proud to be teaming with another industry leader such as Sensurion in efforts to advance their technological offerings.” Said Mr. Jack Elston, Black Swift Technologies CEO. “The integration of our advanced FMS helps put the MAGPIE on the forefront of real utility for this size fixed-wing UAS.
