IAV Dragoon

The IAV Dragoon is a versatile control unit designed for prototypes and small production runs across various industries. It offers a cost-effective solution due to its flexible configuration options and customer-specific hardware adaptations, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

Efficient Vehicle Control: The Dragoon functions as a universal gateway between different bus systems and can manage complex vehicle control systems, adhering to functional safety and cybersecurity standards. It features multiple CAN interfaces and automotive Ethernet for modern vehicle networks. The integrated AUTOSAR base software (IAV Saar) simplifies the incorporation of application functions, with an additional Simulink interface available. IAV's extensive domain expertise in areas like ADAS, e-mobility, and chassis allows for the development of diverse functionalities.

Versatile Automation Software: Beyond vehicle control, the IAV Dragoon serves as a powerful replacement for test benches. Its automation software supports complex processes, and IAV provides complete, tailored solutions. Flexible business models, from rental to purchase, are available. The system includes an extensive library of drivers for peripheral devices and generates automatic test reports. A transient recorder is integrated for high-frequency data acquisition.
