About Us

The founders of Autonodyne have a long history in aviation and in software development. The company began in 2014 as a spinoff from Avidyne Corporation, who has been building FAA-certified avionics for human-piloted aircraft for the last 25 years. Using the foundation of Avidyne technology in such areas as navigation systems, autopilots, on-board sensors, and systems management software, Autonodyne has optimized that technology for the highly automated, unmanned, and autonomous vehicle world.

​

Our senior staff has decades of experience in the development of advanced software, fielding products, and operating vehicles for these kinds of products. The CEO is a 28-year veteran of flying fighter attack aircraft for the US Air Force, has several degrees in engineering, is a holder of several patents, and has run engineering organizations since the mid-90’s.

 

Our Chairman has founded several very successful software-focused companies. Our Vice President of R&D is also a veteran air force pilot and served as a Professor in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence at the University level.

​

Our Engineering teams are led by young engineers who are experts in their fields. Our Board of Advisors each have decades of national leadership in this space.

​

We are focused on bringing smart automation, autonomy, and artificial intelligence to bear to enhance or create new capabilities that were not previously possible. To us, this applies equally across the defense, public safety, and the private/civil markets.
