The VCU is the key component in ASI's NAV. It is the on-board computer that receives commands from the remote operator and relays them to the vehicle, runs continual systems checks, and sends vehicle health and obstacle detection data back to the command center.
ASI engineers incorporate both functionality and design in the new VCU on-board computer. The VCU's speedy processor quickly manages and monitors all of the critical vehicle systems allowing operators a real-time connection to vehicle functions and gauges. The elegant design shrinks the overall size and boosts durability over previous computer versions.

Our uniquely sealed board enclosure keeps mother nature out and your vehicles operational.
Upgrades Available
Starting with critical vehicle functionality in the base model, our VCU is design to accept modules that boost functionality such as obstacle detection, data collection, and more.
Upgrade a VCU with Vantage® obstacle detection and avoidance software. Vantage augments your autonomous vehicle with environmental awareness capabilities, such as sensor fusion, obstacle detection, dynamic obstacle avoidance.
Upgrade a VCU with BlackBox, a data logging solution equipped with a removable MicroSD card. BlackBox gives you the power to analyze problematic situations, reduce bottlenecks, and better assign accountability. BlackBox can log data in manned or unmanned vehicles.
The VCU has easy front panel access to all the fuses that power external sensors and components.
