CDL Systems’ VCS-4586 flies GoldenEye 80 VTOL

CDL Systems flies Aurora Flight Sciences GoldenEye 80 with VCS-4586

CALGARY – 19 August 2008 – CDL Systems Ltd. (CDL), an industry leader in unmanned vehicle control software development, announces the successful integration and flight of VCS-4586 with the Virginia based Aurora Flight Sciences (Aurora) GoldenEye 80 ducted-fan unmanned aircraft system. Developed by CDL, VCS-4586 is a STANAG 4586 compatible integrated command, control, and information system designed for controlling and monitoring unmanned vehicle systems.

The GoldenEye 80, a vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) unmanned aircraft system with a wingspan of 9.6 ft and a gross weight of 180 lbs, is one of the most advanced ducted-fan unmanned systems of its type. Utilizing a free-floating wing design, the GoldenEye 80 is capable of transitioning from VTOL operations to high-speed wing-borne flight with an endurance of up to 8 hours.

The flight demonstration using VCS-4586, to an undisclosed client, showcased the capabilities of the GoldenEye 80. Its ability to remain acoustically undetected in most background noise environments makes it an ideal solution for homeland security and surveillance applications. Sundeep Kharey, Business Development Engineer at CDL called the flights “a significant achievement for both Aurora and CDL as this is the first VTOL system flown using VCS-4586.”

CDL Sponsored Unmanned Robot Receives Award for Best Design

Company Sponsored Robotics Team Takes Top Prize at IARC 2008 Robotics Competition

CALGARY – 6 August 2008 – CDL Systems Ltd., an industry leader in unmanned vehicle control software development, is proud to announce that Team DeVry Calgary, sponsored by CDL Systems, captured first place for Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) Design at the International Aerial Robotics Competition (IARC) 2008 in Ft. Benning, Georgia. The winning entry, a robot called Nova 5, was developed by DeVry students Fady and Sami Khaled. Designed to enter buildings and autonomously identify specific targets, Nova 5's processor is based on a neural network similar to the human brain allowing it to "think" and react based on images stored in its database. Of the 27 teams registered in the competition, DeVry was teamed with Embry Riddle University and finished third overall claiming $12,200 in prize money.

The IARC was first held in 1991 with the primary goal to further the development of aerial robotics through a collegiate competition. Teams rely on the backing of government and industry partners like CDL Systems to develop their state-of-the-art robotics.

CDL Systems Recognized by Northrop Grumman Corporation

Company Receives Certificate of Appreciation for Work on Hunter UAS

SIERRA VISTA – 29 January 2008 – CDL Systems Ltd. (CDL), an industry leader in unmanned vehicle control software development, has been presented a “Certificate of Appreciation” by Northrop Grumman Corporation for its contribution in developing the Automatic Takeoff and Landing System (ATLS) for the MQ-5B Hunter UAS. CDL supplies the ground control station software, VCS™, that is used to operate the MQ-5B Hunter UAS.

J. E. Perry, director of Northrop Grumman’s UAS & Flight Logistics Center, presented the award to Dave Weiler, co-owner of CDL, at a ceremony in Sierra Vista today. The award recognizes CDL as a “critical supplier” in the development of the ATLS, and for consistently providing software that “exceeded expected reliability during regression testing.” The certificate also identifies CDL’s efforts as “invaluable for ensured flight success” and recognizes CDL’s “professionalism” as an organization.

CDL has been partnered with Northrop Grumman since 2002 when CDL began developing VCS™ for the U.S. Army One System® Ground Control Station (OSGCS) for the MQ-5A Hunter. Subsequent work involved upgrading VCS™ to support the MQ-5B Hunter. CDL continued its cooperation with Northrop Grumman by upgrading the OSGCS for MQ-5B Hunter software with ATLS. CDL and Northrop Grumman continue to work together on the MQ-5B Hunter program—a UAS playing a key role in reconnaissance, surveillance, and target acquisition for the U.S. Army.
