Home / VOXL®

VOXL® is Built from Qualcomm Flight Pro

ModalAI's VOXL is built on the Qualcomm Flight Pro architecture. ModalAI is led by the team that developed Qualcomm Flight Pro at Qualcomm. Accessibility and ease of use are really important to the team at ModalAI, and much of their effort is spent making this architecture easy to integrate. VOXL, VOXL Flight and VOXL 2 are all NDAA '20 Section 848 Compliant..

VOXL is a Modular, Open Platform

The VOXL advances the Snapdragon Flight and Qualcomm Flight Pro architectures to enable complete references for :

  • PX4 Avoidance and Navigation
  • ROS Autonomous Navigation
  • Snapdragon Navigator flight controller
  • Beyond Visual Line of Sight with LTE

Meet VOXL 2 

VOXL 2 advances the Blue UAS Framework program by enabling smaller, smarter, and safer drones. At only 16 grams, VOXL 2 boasts 15+ TOPS, advanced onboard AI, and 5G capabilities.
