Launch Point! evolved out of the Industrial Training Institute as a technical consulting company. The company has a combination of senior, mid-career and younger engineers and the name points to the fact that we take ideas and launch them into industry.
We currently operate as a remote-working company, but some cases (such as testing of systems) might necessitate on-site activities.
Our approach:
This whole approach is captured in an excellent, knowledge-focused, documentation process.
We do comprehensive guidance, navigation and control design for unmanned aircraft, unmanned vehicles, manned aircraft and guided weapon systems. Our design process is based on deep fundamental understanding. We do not design control systems using tuning methods.
Our ability in aerodynamics is based on strong fundamental understanding and ranges from applying fundamental semi-empirical methods to high fidelity computational fluid dynamics.
All our designs are based on modeling and simulation. We develop all our simulations from first principles and it forms the foundation of our principle of "understanding" the problem.
Mechanical design and analysis is critical to the safety and integrity of all aircraft. A large part of our development process is founded on the ability to not just do algorithms, but also to take responsibility for the mechanical design of the system ranging from hand calculations to using finite element methods for various types of structural analysis.
We have extensive experience in the specification, development, test and implementation of digital and analog hardware, embedded software and application software.
Mechatronics is the interface between mechanical and electronic/digital systems. Our ability in this field ensures that servos, moving cameras, landing gear and all other types of actuators comply to the requirements.
Our top-down systems design process aims to integrate all aspects of the system. Our design process in empowering to everyone in the team and we strongly focus on the capturing of knowledge during the design process. We follow a modification of the Systems Engineering process where we follow the principles of the Systems Engineering process to ensure quality.
We believe in a top-down systems design process that is founded on the fundamental understanding of the problem at hand. Our policy is that "We cannot design something if we do not understand the problem that must be solved."
A large part of the model-based control systems development process is to have a model of the aircraft to use in the design. The characterization team works closely with the modeling and simulation team to develop high fidelity models of the aircraft that can be used in the design process.
Our team consists of engineers with a range of skills, but all of us share the passion to solve problems and develop systems from fundamentals. Here we introduce the different members of our group.
