microDRIVE MP

microDRIVE MP is a 60 V, 120 A motor controller developed for medium VTOL aircraft, loitering munitions, and uncrewed underwater vehicles requiring sustained propulsion performance. It delivers intelligent motor management, high current endurance, and dependable operation within a sealed IP67-rated enclosure. The unit is engineered to provide stable, controlled power delivery in demanding environments where propulsion loads are increasing and integration simplicity is essential.

Designed for mission-focused unmanned systems, microDRIVE MP combines a continuous 120 A phase current capability with selectable control modes, including Hargrave’s high-efficiency FOCAL algorithm and a rapid-response trapezoidal drive profile. Integrated temperature sensing, multiple hall-effect inputs, and an optional motor sense cable enable advanced functionality such as propeller parking and active thermal protection.

Support for DroneCAN and ARINC 825 ensures streamlined avionics integration, while bidirectional DShot and PWM compatibility provide flexibility across diverse architectures. With configurable hardware protections, extended circular data logging, accurate current measurement, and a sealed thermally managed housing, the controller delivers consistent propulsion insight and operational confidence across challenging air and maritime deployments.
