Flight Control Software
Robust & Reliable
CoTs develops the most advanced flight control software commercially available. Our software has been rigorously tested, accepted and delivered to the fleet for two U.S. Navy Programs of Record. Our team has delivered flight control software for over 20+ undersea vehicles, autonomous and towed systems, for many of the industry’s most well known undersea vehicles such as:
- REMUS 100 & REMUS 600
- Bluefin-21 & Bluefin-12
- U.S. Navy AN/AQS-20 Towed Minehunting Sonar System
- U.S. Navy Airborne Mine Neutralization System (AMNS)
- U.S. Navy LSV-1 Kokanee & LSV-2 Cuttthroat
- Other Custom Commercial & Military Vehicles
Our track record proves we deliver a flight control system that works the first time in the water, leading to significantly lower overall project risk. This has proven to save customers orders of magnitude in costly, high-risk at sea testing.

High-Performance
- Proven to meet steadiness requirements for various sonars, e.g. Synthetic Aperture Sonar (SAS) and Side Scan Sonar
- Capable of commanding six degrees of freedom
- Fleet-tested guidance maneuver classes, e.g. track-keeping and waypoint
- Automated ballast & trim control system for capable vehicles
- Reliable to full ocean depth (6000 msw)
- Designed for customers to meet Area Coverage Rate (ACR) requirements
- Robust to rigorous sea conditions and environments
- Automated winch control for capable towed systems
Advanced, Modern Software
Written using ISO C++ Standards, our flight control software takes advantage of our common software architecture and is capable to operate on most embedded platforms and microcontrollers.
During development, we leverage advanced computer-aided design software to create a complex, reliable software system. In total, 95% of our core flight control software is common across autonomous and towed systems.
For interested customers, in addition to Flight Control Software we offer Vehicle Management Software that includes: Autonomy, Obstacle Avoidance, Fault Monitoring, Subsystem Message Handler, Flight Data Recorder, and more. This is written adhering to the ASTM F-41 Architecture and utilizes JAUS interface standards.
