Forward Deployed Integration

QMD-AVI-700

Modular Avionics Carrier

FDI owns the integration architecture. You choose the electronics.

Planned integrated electronics carrier: FDI-manufactured mounts, harnessing, power interfaces, thermal management, and interface boards, carrying customer- or program-selected avionics.

The catalog describes product families in development or planning. Production availability, technical data, and delivery timing are confirmed for each engagement.

WHAT IT SOLVES

What it solves

Programs want their own flight controller, GNSS, radio, and mission computer — but not the integration burden. The avionics carrier packages the mounting, power, thermal, and interconnect architecture under configuration control while leaving the electronics selection to the program.

Architecture

CAPABILITIES

  • Configuration-controlled carrier architecture
  • Customer-selected electronics (flight controller, GNSS, radio, mission compute, transponder, sensors)
  • Defined power and data interfaces
  • Thermal management designed in

KEY COMPONENTS

  • Structural mounts
  • Carrier harness set
  • Power interfaces
  • Thermal management
  • Interface boards
  • Configuration documentation

Technical specifications are configuration dependent and published per program. Detailed values not shown here are TBD — contact engineering.

Manufacturing and sustainment

MANUFACTURING

  1. 01 Mount production
  2. 02 Harness assembly
  3. 03 Integration and electrical verification

SUSTAINMENT

  • Electronics swap without airframe redesign
  • Carrier elements replaceable individually

APPLICATIONS

  • Program-specific avionics stacks
  • Autonomy company integrations
  • Government lab configurations

INTEGRATION NOTE — FDI does not need to manufacture the semiconductors to own the integration: the carrier is the product; the electronics are the program's choice.
