Aerospace & Embedded Systems for UAV, New Space and Defence
We design electronics and embedded systems for aerospace, UAV, and defence platforms, including launch vehicle computers, sensor payloads, and ground control systems. Our engineering is built for high-g, vibration, radiation exposure, and long-term mission reliability.
Hardware and embedded systems for mission-critical aerospace platforms
We define system architecture, select components, and design hardware and firmware with strict constraints on weight, power consumption, and signal integrity. Our work includes FPGA-based processing, payload integration, and communication interfaces required for unmanned and aerospace platforms.
Systems designed for high-g and constrained environments
Multi-sensor payload integration
We integrate electrochemical sensors, cameras, and sampling systems into unified payloads with synchronized data acquisition and onboard processing.
Faster real-time data processing
FPGA-based systems handle video and signal processing directly on hardware, enabling low-latency operation for onboard analytics and sensor data handling.
Reduction in integration effort
Well-defined interfaces and modular system design simplify integration of payloads, communication modules, and control systems across UAV and aerospace platforms.
Engineering capabilities for aerospace and unmanned systems
We support aerospace, UAV, and defence programmes with electronics and embedded systems designed for high-performance platforms, constrained environments, and long-term system operation.

We design electronics, PCB layouts, and embedded software, including FPGA-based systems for real-time processing and communication between subsystems.
Payload & System Integration
We integrate sensors, payload electronics, communication modules, and control systems, ensuring consistent data flow and interoperability across the platform.
Validation & Testing
We perform system-level validation, including signal integrity checks, sensor calibration, and functional testing across integrated subsystems.
Deployment & Support
We support deployment, system updates, and long-term programme development, adapting systems to evolving platform and mission requirements.
"We had the opportunity to collaborate with InTechHouse on a technically demanding, time-sensitive project. Their team demonstrated strong engineering expertise, ensuring that hardware and software components were developed cohesively and aligned with system-level requirements.
InTechHouse proved to be a reliable partner, capable of executing complex hardware–software systems and successfully navigating regulatory qualification processes."

Embedded systems in aerospace and defence are dedicated computing units integrated into hardware to control, monitor, and process data in real time. They are used in systems such as on-board computers, UAV platforms, payload electronics, and ground control stations. These systems must operate reliably under extreme conditions and strict timing constraints.
An on-board computer (OBC) is the central control unit of a spacecraft or launch vehicle. It manages communication between subsystems, processes sensor data, and executes mission logic. OBCs are designed for high reliability and must operate under radiation, temperature variation, and high-g conditions.
Electronics in aerospace and UAV systems must withstand high acceleration, vibration, thermal stress, and in some cases radiation exposure. Additional constraints include limited space, weight restrictions, and power efficiency requirements. These factors influence component selection, system architecture, and validation processes.
FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) devices are used for high-performance, real-time processing tasks such as video processing, signal processing, and data acquisition. In aerospace and defence systems, FPGA allows for deterministic performance and can be reconfigured to adapt system behavior without changing hardware.
UAV payload electronics refers to the systems mounted on drones that perform specific tasks, such as imaging, sensing, or data collection. This can include multispectral cameras, electrochemical sensors, sampling systems, and onboard processing units. Payload design must consider weight, power consumption, and real-time data processing requirements.
A Ground Control Station (GCS) is the interface used to monitor and control unmanned platforms such as UAVs. It typically includes rugged hardware, communication modules, and software for telemetry, mission planning, and real-time data visualization. GCS systems must operate reliably in field conditions and support stable communication with the platform.
