Design, Test, & Fabrication
Extensive experience in both manned and unmanned craft
DPI is the industry leader in rotorcraft UAV in the U.S. DPI has developed rigorous test processes, equipment, and facilities specifically designed for UAVs. With world-class engineering services, DPI is uniquely suited to rapid, robust, cost-effective engineering design, prototyping, test, fabrication, and manufacturing. DPI has strong relationships with experts in all avionics areas to support design modifications, integration, and test services. Because DPI designs and builds its own aircraft in the U.S. with U.S. ctizens, we can rapidly modify an existing design to meet new industry requirements and unique application needs. That’s just one of the reasons that DARPA, Boeing, SAIC, L3, AAI, Northrop Grumman, and others have come to DPI for design and test services. We isolate and reduce risk methodically throughout the development cycle. This minimizes flight failures and helps you deliver a better, more predictable aircraft with fewer design cycles and prototypes.

Engineering Test Services |
DPI offers unique, world-class testing for UAV systems and subsystems. DPI test services fully characterize and dynamically model the aerodynamic performance of the aircraft, including all forces, moments, and inertias of rotorhead systems. For example, for subsystems, each subsystem is separated, then rigorously and extensively tested, validated, and/or verified. Subsystems are then integrated to test and validate the system as a whole. This minimizes the effect of adding multiple unknowns on top of the overall unknown of flight test. DPI engineering tests services include:
