UAV event
Vicor to present advantages of high-density power designs for next-generation UAVs in Taipei at UAV Market Trends and Power System Seminar
Power modules enable top performance and innovation for today’s advanced UAVs
UAV and drone applications are growing rapidly and advanced power systems are needed to deliver peak performance. Today’s innovative UAVs support disaster relief efforts, search and rescue, surveillance and more. Longer range, runtime and payload levels enable greater feature sets and innovation opportunities. Commercial and defense UAVs are undertaking new applications that require more functionality, and power is often a limiting factor in their design. The best UAVs are distinguished by lightweight, efficient, high-density power that can deliver high performance under rugged conditions.
Vicor will present 2 sessions at UAV Market Trends and Power System Seminar
March 21st
13:00 – 17:00
Room 103, Taipei International Convention Center
Build Better UAVs Using Modular Power
Presented by Tom Curatolo, Director of Industrial Business Applications Engineering Team, Vicor
The Power Delivery Networks (PDN) based on Vicor’s high performance power modules enable innovative designs for the next generation of UAV development. The modules are typically smaller in size and lightweight compared to competitive solutions, enabling UAVs to take on larger and heavier payloads. In addition these modules can be easily paralleled, allowing for designs to scale in power as UAV power demands increase and allow for the same power architecture to be deployed within a platform of various sized UAV systems.
Tom Curatolo is the Director of Vicor’s Industrial Business Applications Engineering team also supporting the Aerospace and Defense sector. Tom has more than 40 years of experience in the high-tech electronics industry with specific expertise in power electronics and power architectures. He has been with Vicor Corporation for more than 30 years. The majority of his time with Vicor was spent in Applications Engineering where he has extensive experience in supporting the diverse customer base and markets that Vicor products address. He completed a B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute in 1985. Tom is based in Andover, Massachusetts.
