Ayaatech has officially established a new UAV BMS R&D Department to accelerate the design, testing, and customization of smart Battery Management Systems (BMS) for industrial drone applications.
As Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are increasingly deployed across demanding sectors such as agriculture, infrastructure inspection, heavy lifting, and emergency rescue, their underlying power management systems must evolve beyond basic power delivery. In these applications, the BMS must support safe operation, stable communication, accurate battery data monitoring, and reliable high-current performance.
The new department will focus on the full development lifecycle of drone BMS solutions, including circuit design, PCB layout, firmware debugging, battery data monitoring, communication protocol integration, power supply testing, and protection function verification. These processes are intended to help prepare UAV BMS designs for real-world flight challenges such as temperature changes, high discharge currents, mechanical vibration, and rapid load variations.
To support integration with UAV platforms, Ayaatech’s drone BMS solutions support communication interfaces and protocols including CAN, UART, RS485, BLE, and DroneCAN. They can also be developed for flight controllers including PX4, ArduPilot, JiyiUAV, VKCAN, SKYRCCAN, and BOYINGCAN. The engineering team will continue refining functions such as State of Charge (SOC) and State of Health (SOH) monitoring, cell balancing, fault alarms, battery protection logic, and application-specific flight safety strategies.
The department is also intended to strengthen Ayaatech’s support for customized UAV battery projects. Different drone platforms may require different voltage ranges, current levels, battery pack structures, communication protocols, and protection strategies, making standard power solutions unsuitable for some industrial applications.
Whether developing lightweight BMS hardware for compact inspection drones, high-current discharge management for agricultural or heavy-lifting UAVs, or high-voltage battery management for electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) platforms, the department will work with drone manufacturers and battery pack integrators to deliver customized UAV BMS solutions.
