Increasing NCAP Pressure. Limited Budget Flexibility.
Automotive engineering teams are currently being asked to manage a difficult balance:
- Increasing ADAS validation complexity
- Growing pressure from current and upcoming NCAP requirements
- Tight proving ground schedules and shorter development timelines
- Delayed investments and reduced budget flexibility across the industry
At the same time, testing requirements and scenarios continue to expand. To help teams maintain and expand testing capability, we are currently offering leasing options on UFO platforms. This enables engineering and validation teams to deploy additional testing capability immediately while spreading investment without additional financing cost.
Maintain Testing Capability While Preserving Financial Flexibility
Our current 0% leasing offer enables teams to access UFO platforms immediately while maintaining predictable investment planning. Instead of delaying testing capability expansion, customers can distribute investment across 36 months with no additional financing cost. This supports:
- Faster deployment of testing equipment
- Increased proving ground flexibility
- Improved test scheduling capacity
- Preparation for current and future NCAP requirements
Supporting Modern ADAS Validation
UFOnext™ is engineered to meet the increasing speed requirements of modern ADAS validation, including NCAP protocols. With a top speed of up to 140 km/h, it enables reliable execution of high-speed scenarios that are not achievable with any other existing platform. This capability is essential as regulations continue to introduce higher test velocities and more complex interactions.
The UFOmicro® target carrier was developed specifically for PTW (Powered Two-Wheeler) and VRU (Vulnerable Road User) tests. It was designed with extremely high lateral and longitudinal accuracies for dependable and repeatable testing. The UFOmicro® seamlessly integrates into the existing Humanetics portfolio and other active safety products for synchronized testing, allowing the configuration and testing of complex, real-life scenarios with up to ten robots.
The UFOnano® target carrier was developed specifically for VRU (Vulnerable Road User) tests. The versatile device features the same familiar design as the standard Humanetics UFO, but its compact size allows it to drive a curve in every radius and even turn on the spot. It can easily accommodate a pedestrian test targets with a shoulder width footprint barely larger than that of a real person, allowing multiple targets to ‘swarm’ together shoulder to shoulder and mimic individualized behavior.
Tailored for exhaustive ADAS testing across various scenarios, the UFOpro® merges adaptability, resilience, and high performance. Featuring an ultra-flat, overrunable design capable of simulating Global Vehicle Targets (GVT) and Vulnerable Road Users (VRU), it offers a superior testing platform for the latest collision avoidance innovations.
