Joby Aviation is boosting its in-house capability in radio frequency (RF) technology with the acquisition of specialist start-up Inras. The Austrian company has been helping its new U.S. owner to develop a customized radar system for its four-passenger eVTOL aircraft.

With Joby’s backing, Inras is now expanding its five-person team to accelerate work in designing RF systems, processing boards, real-time signal processing, and advanced radar sensors. The Linz-based company was founded by Andreas Harderer and Andreas Stelzer.
