UVAD designs, builds and operates uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) for commercial and defense-related applications. The company has developed a multidisciplinary engineering capability stemming from their vertically integrated UAV system development experience.

“Leveraging the combination of our proprietary Digital Design Platform and industry leading tools,” a spokesperson from UVAD commented, “we conduct computational design and analysis relating to uncrewed aircraft and associated systems. Adding modeFRONTIER to this suite of tools gives us the capability to evaluate complex design spaces for optimum solutions, and determine their sensitivity to input variables from an early stage in the design process.”

“We offer flexible and attractive licensing options for startups, so they can take advantage of world class design optimization software at a reduced cost. We welcome UVAD to our customer base and are looking forward to supporting them in their fast-paced journey to develop the next generation of UAVs,” says Roel Van De Velde, vice president of Aerospace & Defense, ESTECO.
