Accelerating Autonomous System Development

GuideTech helps aerospace startups and primes rapidly develop high-performance unmanned systems (missiles, satellites, UAVs, launch vehicles, etc.) at lower cost and with faster turnaround.

We pair prime-level engineering rigor with startup agility. Our advanced flight software, simulation, and COTS autopilots dramatically cut the time and cost of developing new unmanned systems.

Our Products simplify development. Our Design Services accelerate innovation. The result: better systems, built faster, for less.

What We Deliver at Every Phase of Your Program:

  • GuideTech's FLEX simulation makes it easy to evaluate trade studies on vehicle design.

    Preliminary Design

    Our FLEX Simulation and rich model library allows us to quickly stand-up digital simulation of your vehicle, then execute design trades that help your team pick the right design, actuators, sensors, propulsion, and power system. Arming your team with the data they need to make smart decisions.

  • Digital rendering of a futuristic space shuttle blueprint on a dark background with data panels.

    Detailed Design & Software Dev

    We leverage our proven FLEX simulation framework and rich library of GNC algorithms to create customized flight software for your program. You get to leverage millions of NRE, while paying only for the novel/new development your program requires.

  • GuideTech's Hardware-in-the-Loop (HWIL) Simulation environment allows us to thoroughly test flight software, avionics and interfaces before flight - saving time and money during vehicle integration and test.

    Hardware Integration & Ground Testing

    Our Hardware-in-the-Loop (HWIL) simulation environment allows us to throughly test your vehicle’s flight software and electrical interfaces, thousands of times before first flight. We also help execute bench, subsystem, flat-sat / iron-bird, vibe, and other pre-flight ground testing. Together these steps dramatically increase first flight success.

  • GuideTech has deep experience in system design and flight test.

    Flight Test

    GuideTech expertise in flight test planning, preparation and execution helps ensure your test is smooth, on schedule and successful. On-site staff support your test effort and post-flight analysis ensures you derive all the available information from your flight.

  • GuideTech helps our customers transition to operations and production.

    Operations & Production

    GuideTech transitions knowledge and capabilities to your in-house team - so you can operate and sustain your product independently. If you’re using the BRAIN avionics, we pre-install your vehicle’s custom software and deliver BRAINs to meet your production needs. Our deep bench of engineers is always available for support when you need it.
