UAV Navigation, a developer of flight-control avionics and motion sensors for unmanned aircraft, said it demonstrated its LCAP autopilot system in a “sea-skimming” target UAV designed to mimic the threat of an incoming missile. The flight test of the Scrab aerial target was conducted on a range used by the Spanish navy, in cooperation with Sistemas de Control Remoto, the aircraft’s manufacturer and a supplier to the Spanish armed forces.
