Earlier this year, Mistral Solutions launched the MRD5165 Eagle Kit, an advanced AI-powered Companion Computer cum Drone Controller built around Qualcomm® QRB5165 SoC, for CubePilot Modules.
Designed for NDAA compliant applications, the MRD5165 Eagle Kit delivers unparalleled compute and flight capabilities in a compact, modular form-factor, and comes integrated with Cube Orange+ or Cube Blue. MRD5165 Eagle Kit can also be used for any other variant of autopilot modules from CubePilot.
The MRD5165 Eagle Kit is engineered for advanced, low-power AI-enabled autonomous systems, setting a new standard in the intelligent machines landscape. This powerful Companion Computer features an on-device AI engine and high-performance computer vision.
The modular architecture keeps the Flight Control Unit (Cube Module) completely isolated from the computing infrastructure. The Eagle Kit can be used by product developers, system integrators, and hobbyists to develop autonomous drones and intelligent robot systems.
MRD5165 Eagle Kit extends the capabilities of Flight Control Unit (Cube Orange+ or Cube Blue) with:
- On-device AI Engine: Harness the power of on-device AI engine, capable of performing 15 TOPS, for enhanced flight intelligence and autonomy.
- High-performance Computer Vision: Benefit from advanced computer vision capabilities for improved video analytics and autonomous flights.
- Higher Compute Performance per Watt: Enjoy superior compute performance in a low-power, energy-efficient package.
- Six Concurrent Cameras: Capture comprehensive visuals with support for up to six concurrent cameras.
- Support for VSLAM: Enable Visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping for precise navigation in various environments.
- NDAA Compliant: Designed to meet the stringent requirements of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
- Wired & Wireless Connectivity: Stay connected with a range of connectivity options, including wired, wireless and 5G interfaces.
- Custom Radio Integration: Tailor the kit to your needs with support for custom radio integration.
Mujahid Alam, CEO – Mistral Solutions, commented, “The Cube Autopilot is known for its reliability, flexibility, and advanced features, making it a preferred choice for both hobbyists and professionals in the drone industry.
“Mistral’s collaboration with CubePilot, to develop one of the most advanced Drone Controller cum Companion Computers in the market today, emphasizes our commitment to fostering innovation and pushing the boundaries of what is possible with autonomous flight systems.”
