About AVSS
AVSS parachute systems monitor the host aircraft and deploy a recovery canopy after a critical failure. Flight-termination and automatic-trigger functions stop propulsion and initiate the descent, reducing impact energy during operations over people, infrastructure or other sensitive areas.
The company supplies model-specific kits for DJI enterprise aircraft and custom integrations for other manufacturers. Products are developed around standards including ASTM F3322 and EASA MOC 2511 and 2512. AVSS also builds guided and unguided aerial-delivery systems and mission-planning software.
