Core Business
Integrated Avionics System
Based on our “SMART Aviation Intelligent Human-Machine Interaction Development Platform”, HemsTec’s "Integrated Universal Design" avionics system architecture is configurable, trimmable, scalable, and adapted to different aircraft types. The SMART integrated avionics system has a multi-touch screen as its prominent feature, equipped with intelligent flight management algorithms and aviation navigation databases in compliance with the ARINC424 global standard. It has the advantage of simple operation, high safety redundancy, and high cost-effectiveness. Besides, we are able to provide avionics products that meet civil aviation airworthiness standards (supporting CAAC/EASA/FAA evidence collection), according to different user requirements and application scenarios.
Our SMART Series avionics cover three system-level products: the Smart Horizon (Integrated Avionics System), the Smart FLARM (Intelligent Flight Tablet), and the Smart Vision (Intelligent Visual Navigation System). Its main application areas are as follows:
1. Provide turnkey avionics solutions for small & medium-sized transport aircraft, including eVTOLs (Electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing);
2. Provide Flight Management System (FMS), Synthetic Vision System (SVS), 3D Terrain Awareness and Warning System (3D-TAWS), navigation databases and other avionics core subsystems for all types of aircraft.
To date, we have successfully provided integrated avionics systems for the TA-20 trainer aircraft, as well as avionics modification and upgrading services for a certain type of transport aircraft and a certain type of helicopter. In addition, we have provided autonomous controllable solutions of core avionics subsystems for domestic developed large aircraft.
Large UAV Ground Control System (GCS)
Based on our “SMART Aviation Intelligent Human-Machine Interaction Development Platform”, HemsTec’s Large UAV GCS adopts the innovative design philosophy of “universal, integrated architecture and modular configuration, and lightweight”, which is compatible with multiple types of UAVs. It also has the advantages including universal broad-spectrum adaptability, abundant configuration options, advanced human-machine interaction, powerful functional configuration and high cost-effectiveness.
Our GCS system is designed for diverse application scenarios and can operate in harsh environments such as deserts and island reefs. It consists of four system-level products：the Navigation (Central Command and Control System), the Ark (Mobile GCS), the Cube (Portable GCS) and the Hummingbird (Handheld GCS). Its main application areas are as follows:
1. Develop real GCS for various models of large UAV. Typical clients include UAV R&D institutes and manufactures, and UAV users.
2. Provide various GCS simulation training systems for UAV operators. Typical clients include aviation academies, and UAV users.
3. Provide real or simulated GCS in support of the UAV development process including design, validation, evaluation, optimization, and testing. Conduct cutting-edge research on topics such as Manned-Unmanned Coordination, UAV swarm, Cloud-architecture Ground Station, AI-assisted Decision-making, etc. Typical clients include UAV/eVTOL R&D institutes, and aviation academies.
To date, we have successfully supplied GCS for multiple types of large UAVs, and delivered UAV simulation training systems as well as scientific research platforms to a number of organizations.
We have built our proprietary "RT-Cloud Real-Time Flight Simulation Design & Test Platform", boasting a comprehensive aircraft performance database, mastery of high-precision flight simulation algorithms, avionics simulation, and visual simulation technology with AI-driven deduction capabilities. We also have extensive experience in developing simulated cockpits and simulation equipment.
On one hand, we provide simulation design and testing services for our self-developed airborne integrated avionics and UAV GCS; on the other hand, we deliver a full range of simulators and highly realistic, continuously evolving simulation environments for flight training and engineering simulation of domestically developed large aircraft and various other aircraft models.
The main application areas of our SIM Series simulator products are as follows:
1. Provide full-flight simulators (SIM1000/SIM2000 Series FFS), fixed-base training devices (SIM100/SIM200 Series FTD, with optional MR application support), and basic training devices (SIM10/SIM20 Series IPT or CBT) across all tiers that meet the certification standards of the civil aviation authority for pilots and relevant aviation professionals. Our clients include airlines, aviation academies, and flight training centers.
2. Provide SIM0 Series engineering simulators and technical development services for the R&D processes of various aircraft types, covering design, verification, evaluation, optimization, and testing. Our clients include aviation research institutes and aviation academies.
We have undertaken the development projects of simulators for a number of domestically manufactured civil aircraft including the C909 (ARJ21), C919 and C929, as well as various other aircraft types. These projects include multiple "first-set" initiatives (such as the domestically produced full-flight simulator for the C909 aircraft), cementing our position as an advanced enterprise in the independent R&D of simulators in China.

Navdata (Aeronautical Navigation Data) refers to a general term for navigation data sets, packages, and formatted files that are electronically stored in an aircraft's Flight Management System (FMS) and used to support aircraft navigation applications. By accessing the database, the aircraft displays relevant procedures or flight routes on the navigation display, guiding the aircraft to fly along the predetermined trajectory. Navdata is a key element for aircraft to achieve automatic flight.
The standard aeronautical navigation database that meets airworthiness requirements (with Class 1 CTSOA qualification) comprises elements such as navigation data, airport data, obstacle data, and terrain data, and is subject to regular updates. Based on the standard aeronautical navigation database, airborne avionics applications that meet airworthiness requirements (with Class 2 CTSOA qualification) can be developed, such as VFR Chart (Visual Flight Rules Chart) and IFR Chart (Instrument Flight Rules Chart).
We have independently developed the AeroDPS (Aeronautical Data Processing Software), which enables the development of products such as aeronautical navigation databases and 3D maps that comply with internationally recognized standards including ARINC 424 and RTCA/DO-200B/276C. These products support the multiple integrated applications of high, medium and low altitude airspace concurrently. Relevant achievements have been successfully applied in our SMART avionics system.
