Flight Core^® — PX4 and ArduPilot Drone Flight Controller Assembled in the USA

The ModalAI^® Flight Core runs PX4 and ArduPilot flight controller firmware, is NDAA '20 Section 848 compliant, and is assembled in the USA. It can be paired with VOXL 2 for obstacle avoidance and indoor or outdoor GPS-denied navigation, or used on its own as a standalone flight controller.

Performance and Security for Enterprise and Defense

Flight Core is built on a high-performance Arm^® Cortex^®-M7 32-bit RISC core operating at up to 216 MHz.

Advanced Autonomy

Paired with VOXL 2 over a UART link (MCBL-00066 or MCBL-00067), Flight Core flies fully autonomous missions indoors and outdoors — VOXL 2 supplies the visual-inertial odometry, obstacle avoidance and video, Flight Core runs the control loop.
