LFT Airborne GmbH is the airborne division of LAKE FUSION Technologies GmbH. The group describes itself as a German based international deep tech software and technology company. The airborne division says its technology makes helicopter flights operationally safe.
Poorly visible obstacles pose a significant safety risk for pilots. LFT's technology makes obstacles such as power lines visible. The company says it also supports take-offs and landings in difficult terrain or in critical weather conditions.
LFT combines aviation expertise with advances from autonomous driving. The website says the company brings this technology from the automotive sector into helicopter use.
The SitAwS range has three main products. SitAwS-C is a situational awareness system for civil platforms. SitAwS-M is an obstacle detection system for military platforms. SitAwS-D is a situational awareness system for drones. The site also lists volumetric security and vessel versions.
The website lists four use cases. These are helicopter operations, drones, safe operations in difficult visibility conditions, and outlanding in remote or challenging terrain. Partner logos on the site include Airbus, Rheinmetall, Hensoldt, Swiss Helicopter Engineering, Continental, ZF Group and Mercedes-Benz.
The group also offers engineering services. These include a LiDAR engineering service and perception validation. Its reference system records time-synchronized, geo-referenced sensor data from cameras, LiDAR, radar and inertial systems. Safety and risk assessment follows ISO 26262 and ISO 21448.
LFT Airborne is in the process of being certified to EN 9100. Certificates and documents are available to download from the website. Offices are in Markdorf, Germany, and Culver City, California. The group also has offices in Singapore and Casablanca, Morocco. The reference system lets customers test and compare different LiDAR sensors under different environmental conditions. The group's resources section offers downloadable documents.
