Avionics Board

The avionics board is a highly integrated module that provides power conditioning and signal routing throughout the entire aircraft. The avionics in total is comprised of the autopilot, power supplies, GPS receiver, air data system, and telemetry radio, and battery.

Autopilot

The autopilot performs autonomous navigation and provides aircraft stabilization when flying in optional autopilot assisted flight modes. The autopilot itself is a suite of sensors that measure flight metrics and make changes in flight as needed. All flight data is recorded onboard as an autopilot log and all information sent over the radio link is saved as a telemetry log.

The autopilot runs ArduPlane firmware.

GPS

The aircraft uses a multi-constellation, multi-band Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver and an active antenna used for determining aircraft position, altitude, and geo-referencing. The receiver is capable of tracking all existing GNSS constellations. The receiver also features integrated anti-spoofing and jamming technologies.

Power Management

The aircraft is powered by a rechargeable lithium polymer (LiPo) avionics battery. Battery voltage powers the avionics board and is then passed through or further regulated within the avionics for the autopilot, radios, actuators, and subsystems.

Telemetry Radio

The standard aircraft configuration utilizes an ISM serial radio for control, telemetry, and PPM passthrough from the hand controller. The radio range is variable based on a number of environmental and operational factors and equipment selection. The aircraft uses omnidirectional dipole antennas. Secondary radios can be installed in dedicated drop-in module compatible mounts under the wings.
