Analog Modules, Inc. (AMI) is a leading provider of laser electronics and sensor modules for UAVs, unmanned platforms and counter-UAS systems.
UST is highlighting the company’s unique solutions via the AMI supplier profile. The company’s product portfolio offers a variety of choices to suit differing requirements for cost and performance, and is ideal for developers of small-to-mid-sized UxVs, system integrators, and gimbal and payload OEMs.
Analog Modules’ compact and lightweight laser rangefinder receivers are ideal for UAV ranging and time-of-flight measurement applications, offering high sensitivity and fast recovery for excellent performance in dynamic environments. The receivers are also highly suited for integration into counter-UAS systems, providing accurate ranging data for kinetic effectors and other interception technologies.
The product portfolio includes a range of different receiver options to meet numerous requirements for cost vs performance.
All-in-one laser rangefinder receivers and range processors are also available, combining a low-noise receiver with low-SWaP support electronics. These systems provide corrected range data to a host system via a serial interface.
Analog Modules offers a wide variety of high-performance and low-SWaP sensor and amplifier solutions that can be integrated into UAV gimbal payloads and sensor suites. These products meet the demanding requirements of military and defense platforms as well as high-end commercial drones.
Product ranges include:
- Laser Rangefinder Receivers
- Laser Spot Tracker Modules
- Optical Receivers
- Photodetector Amplifiers
- Transimpedance Amplifiers
- Voltage Amplifiers
- Logarithmic Amplifiers
AMI’s high-efficiency laser diode drivers are highly suited to UAVs as well as other unmanned systems such as UGVs, offering a variety of easy-to-integrate choices for diode-pumped and direct illumination applications in SWaP-optimized footprints.
The product portfolio includes:
- Seed Laser Diode Drivers
- SOA Drivers
- Pulsed Laser Diode Drivers
- CW Laser Diode Drivers
- Laser Diode Controllers
- Pockels Cell Drivers
- High Voltage Bias Supplies
A range of military-grade high-power laser drivers is also available, providing solutions for counter-UAS target tracking and interception. These drivers incorporate critical safety features such as feedback current control, over current/voltage protection, enable/inhibit, and dump circuit functions to prevent damage to laser diodes.
In addition to COTS products, AMI also offers expert custom design and manufacturing services. The company partners with UAV OEMs early in the design process to provide and integrate uniquely tailored receiver and driver modules that meet specific client requirements.
AMI is highly experienced in supporting production programs of 100 to 5000 units per year, and can alter form factors, connectors and interface cables, as well as add or remove particular features to suit your UAV platform specifications.
