Industry partnerships
Millswood Engineering collaborates with a number of companies in the UAV space. In most cases these are performed under a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA), and so no exposure here is possible. But here are a couple of collaborations which are not subject to an NDA:
Currawong Engineering Pty Ltd
Currawong 250W PMU integration
The 250W Power Management Unit (PMU) was developed with Currawong Engineering in 2014 to integrate with their range of UAV engines.
It has been a reliable workhorse for many years and has accumulated thousands of hours of reliable operation.
To celebrate its 10th birthday the 250W PMU has just received a major update.
A variant of the 250W PMU with an integrated engine starter is available from Currawong Engineering.
VISIONAIRtronics GmbH
VISIONAIRtronics 1800W PDU
VISIONAIRtronics 900W PDU
VISIONAIRtronics 2000W GCU
An ongoing collaboration with VISIONAIRtronics has created a range of products, including a 2000W Generator Control Unit (GCU), a 900W Power Distribution Unit (PDU), and an 1800W Power Distribution Unit (PDU).
These products are available exclusively from VISIONAIRtronics.
