In our increasingly interconnected world, where devices seamlessly communicate and perform complex tasks with minimal human intervention, the concept of embedded systems plays a pivotal role. From the smartphone in your pocket to the intricate systems in a modern car, embedded systems are the silent enablers of functionality and automation. This article delves into what embedded systems are, their components, and applications in defense and commercial settings.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming a number of industries in today's fast-paced digital world, from manufacturing and transportation to healthcare and finance. The most promising development in AI is called "Edge AI." However, what precisely is Edge AI, and why is it growing so important in today's tech ecosystem? We'll explore the idea of Edge AI, its advantages, and how it's revolutionizing global businesses in this blog article.

Following industry best practices is crucial to Systel, ensuring that all of our products and processes are compliant with the highest of quality and safety standards. In 2021 we achieved the gold standard in aircraft certification by successfully receiving our AS9100 quality management standard, and are pleased to announce that we have just renewed our certification.

As computer processing advances further and artificial intelligence (AI) is deployed on more systems at the edge, including those pioneered by Systel, then the autonomous capabilities of drones will only advance further. One example of how autonomy and AI will underpin new drone tactics is swarming, where multiple UAS will work collaboratively together to perform a mission with limited human input.
