Managing a Scandinavian Legacy of almost 30 years
Founded by Dr. Jan-Erik Strömberg and MSc Magnus Sundstedt, Scandicraft was the result of an academic research project lasting half a decade at Linköping University in Sweden. Scandicraft was established to commercially exploit the results of research on control of rotary wing UAV's. Together, they developed not only a range of fully functional autopilots, but also a selection of helicopter platforms that were successfully used over the years to demonstrate a wide selection of applications such as power line inspections, traffic monitoring, surveillance, coordination of rescue operations, electronic warfare, and geo mapping.
With their initial success, and with gathered experience, Jan-Erik and Magnus built the APID 50, the first of its kind in the APID suite.
After improving the initial product, the APID 55 is created. There is plenty of international attention from various armed forces around the world, including the United States and the United Arab Emirates.
APID 60 sees the light of day. A new system, better than ever seen before. The APID 60 has articulated landing gear, ideal for landing on vessels in water. There is interest from both the Swedish and Spanish navies, among others.
Cybaero is acquired by MainBase, managing the legacy and developing it to new heights.
APID One is created and completes a series of successful high altitude flights. Dialogues are had with both the Indian army and the Royal Thai Navy.
Evolved acquires MainBase, and by extension Cybaero and Scandicraft. Based on the previous technologies developed for the APID systems over the past 30 years, a new generation of helicopters is born and has improved the technical characteristics and replaced the most sensitive solutions in order to increase flight safety, improve flight characteristics and performance, and extend the time between the necessary technical service sessions.
