Autonomous Systems & Controls
The Autonomous Systems and Controls Section (ASC) at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) provides engineering services to military and commercial clients in the areas of autonomous controls for air and ground vehicles, systems integration, interface requirements analyses, prototype hardware and software development, and advanced model-based design and simulation. The ASC team has focused on leveraging commercial tools and equipment to transfer technology simulation. The SwRI team is experienced in avionics, including hardware and software prototypes, system integration, and interface definitions for military and commercial ground-based data acquisition, communication, sensor applications, and test system development.
