This autopilot was developed because we want full control and understanding, from the ground up, of how the autopilot is programmed and subsequently how the airship is managed. This makes sure that we are best placed to make any changes if and when the need arises. We also created a simple solution that offered satellite communication with a ground station designed for the safest operation of the airship. Not only do we need to insert new waypoints for the ship to follow during flight but we have a range of customized commands sent to the airship and a barrage of feedback information sent back to us. The autopilot was developed by Industratech (see details below)
