The trend toward replacing pneumatic and hydraulic actuators and controls with electrical controls has placed an increasing burden on the unmanned electrical power distribution system. That means the UAV design team member who is tasked with specifying components for the power system needs to consider five factors that will affect the performance and reliability of…
For the past few years, one trend has dominated the power industry: MORE power in a SMALLER package. That trend compounds into 2016, as customer demands continue to push boundaries for more sophistication over the next 12 months. As customers’ power needs grow, Abbott is at the forefront, proactive in designing industry-leading technological advancements. More Power in…
Abbott Technologies has been an exhibitor at the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International’s annual conference for years, and at Unmanned Systems 2015: Xponential, the Abbott team introduced attendees to its newest product, the CM1000, which is currently in production and shipping to military and industrial customers who need higher power output in the harshest…
