One Portfolio, Two Global Stages: AEE at Dubai Airshow & European Rotors 2025

Dubai Airshow: Launching BARC1000 and MIAU1000

At the Dubai Airshow, AEE and Volz Servos introduced two new members of their advanced avionics and flight-control portfolio: BARC1000 and MIAU1000.

BARC1000 – Advanced Flight Control Platform

The BARC1000 is AEE’s latest flight control computer (FCC) hardware platform, developed as a derivative of the BayCHAMP innovation program. Its foundations are rooted in close cooperation between research and industry, including academic contributions from Technische Universität München and system-level support by Microsys Electronics GmbH.

Designed for demanding UAV and eVTOL applications, BARC1000 embodies AEE’s core engineering principles:

• Modular and highly redundant architectures

• High computing reserves for Fly-by-Wire applications

• Flexible interface concepts

• Advanced safety mechanisms

As part of a flight-proven FCC family, BARC1000 supports scalable system architectures with long-term lifecycle perspectives.

MIAU1000 – Compact and Versatile Interface Unit

Complementing this platform, the MIAU1000 extends the portfolio with a compact and versatile avionics interface unit. Tailored for multi-actuator and hybrid architectures, it can operate as a DCU, gateway or small decentralized flight-control computer.

Developed fully in accordance with aviation-grade processes, MIAU1000 offers:

• Certification package availability up to DAL A (on request)

• Complete galvanic isolation across all interfaces

• Compatibility with established CAN and RS-485 actuator architectures

• Compact form factor for UAV and EASA SC-VTOL installations

• Design alignment with DO-160G environmental requirements

European Rotors: Technical Exchange at Eye Level

At the same time, AEE was represented at European Rotors 2025 in Cologne — one of Europe’s key meeting points for the rotorcraft and VTOL community.

On site, AEE engineers engaged in direct technical exchange with OEMs, operators, developers and integration teams, discussing current programs as well as future rotorcraft and VTOL concepts. European Rotors once again proved to be a forum where engineering discussions happen at eye level, with a strong focus on certification feasibility and real-world integration.

Consistent Engineering, Global Impact

Whether at one of the world’s largest aerospace exhibitions in Dubai or at Europe’s leading rotorcraft event in Cologne, AEE’s message remained consistent: robust engineering, certification-ready processes and modular avionics platforms designed for operational aircraft programs.

With its parallel presence at both events and the launch of BARC1000 and MIAU1000, AEE reinforces its role as a partner for advanced avionics — from research-driven innovation to flight-proven, certifiable systems.
