We at ICI - Integrated Consultants, Inc. are pleased to release this interoperability demonstration video. Click on the image to the right to watch the video.

ICI developed the electronic hardware and test infrastructure. Interoperability is made possible using the Distrix software suite from Spark Integration Technologies to allow disparate robotic hardware devices, sensors and other components to communicate seamlessly.

The video displays the result of a collaboration of technical disciplines across the gambit of high technology and demonstrates true autonomous interoperability.

Northrop Grumman's Firescout unmanned helicopter is programmed on the ground via a laptop computer.

ICI designed a chassis system to hold and protect the laptop while it is tethered to the UAV.

The cradle contains an electronics tray that processes the helicopter's signal before feeding it into the laptop.

From a damaged F-18 bulkhead, and utilizing customer 2D paper drawings and mold line data, IGES surfaces, ICI Created 3D parametric solid model.

Then resolve 2D, and 2D to 3D geometric inconsistencies typically found with this type of electronic conversion. Drawings from the parametric solid model verify developed sections to the original 2D paper drawings.
