Drone Reference Platform
Lantronix' Drone Reference Platform is a powerful integrated solution that allows OEMs and developers to significantly accelerate development, validation, testing and deployment of new multirotor and fixed-wing designs. Leveraging the performance of the Qualcomm Dragonwing QCS8550 processor, the SWaP-optimized system is NDAA-compliant and enables the creation of flight-ready prototypes in weeks instead of months.
The platform features a FLIR Hadron 640R thermal camera with built-in AI-powered detection and tracking, and is ideal for a wide range of use cases including surveillance, search and rescue, inspection and monitoring, and more.
