Next-Gen NDAA-Compliant Edge AI Flight Control System (FCS)

Powered by Raspberry Pi CM5, Hailo-8 AI Accelerator & Pixhawk-Compatible STM32H753 ( Raspberry Pi CM5, Hailo-8 AI Accelerator are sold separately as optional upgrades. This unit can also work as an independent FCS without CM5 and Hailo. )

Product Overview

Redefine autonomous flight with one of the world’s first NDAA-compliant Flight Control Systems (FCS) to integrate the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 (CM5) , dedicated Hailo-8™ Edge AI acceleration , and an STM32H753 Pixhawk-compatible flight controller into a single ultra-compact board ( $80 \times 50 \times 20\text{ mm}$ ).

Designed for mission-critical defense, enterprise inspection, and sovereign UAV ecosystems, this platform delivers unmatched compute density, real-time computer vision, and bulletproof flight stability—all while meeting strict government compliance standards.

Key Selling Points & Highlights

• World-First All-in-One Synergy: Seamlessly fuses high-level Linux applications, dedicated neural network acceleration, and deterministic real-time flight control onto a unified hardware platform.

• NDAA Compliant & Enterprise-Ready: Built with trusted supply-chain components, making it fully ready for government, defense, and high-security commercial deployments.

• Massive Edge AI Performance: Features an M.2 expansion slot supporting Hailo-8™ (up to 26 TOPS) or Hailo-8L , enabling real-time object detection, autonomous navigation, and target tracking directly at the edge.

• Powered by Raspberry Pi CM5: High-speed 64-bit quad-core processing handles complex networking, payload storage, and vision workloads without bottlenecking flight management.

• Mission-Critical Flight Control: Driven by an STM32H753 (480 MHz) MCU with Pixhawk architecture compatibility, paired with industrial-grade IMUs for rock-solid stability in challenging environments.

• Dual 4-Lane MIPI CSI Vision Support: Built to handle high-frame-rate stereo camera setups, thermal imaging feeds, and multi-sensor fusion algorithms simultaneously.
