Case Study: Airbus Military accelerates UAV electrical rig testing with National Instruments LabVIEW, CompactRIO, and CompactDAQ

Developing a UAV Electrical Rig Using LabVIEW, CompactRIO, and NI CompactDAQ

The customer, Airbus Military, faced the challenge of creating a test system for its unmanned aerial vehicle's electrical system. They needed to test the system under various operating conditions, monitor key parameters, and execute tests to verify equipment integration. National Instruments provided the hardware and software to meet this challenge.

The solution implemented by Airbus Military used National Instruments' LabVIEW software, CompactRIO, and CompactDAQ to create an electrical rig. This system managed the excitation of the electrical system, monitored its status, and simulated fault conditions, successfully fulfilling all design requirements. The use of National Instruments technology resulted in a significantly shortened development time, allowing the team to meet the project's demanding time and cost constraints.
