Key Features

High-Performance Computing

STM32H743 Cortex-M7 at 480 MHz with double-precision FPU. Ample computational headroom under EKF3, multi-instance state estimation, and complex peripheral loads — no dropped loops.

Dual-IMU Redundancy

ICM-42688-P + ICM-42652 as independent IMU sensors. Failover and cross-validation; both run simultaneously, with the EKF automatically selecting the healthy unit.

NDAA-Compliant Supply Chain

Section 889 compliant. Critical components sourced from TI, STMicro, InvenSense, u-blox, and Bosch; part-level traceability documentation available for procurement audits.

Complete I/O

CAN FD × 2, UART × 5, I²C × 2, SPI, dual GPS, S.BUS, PWM × 14. Native support for STORM32 gimbal, F9P RTK GPS, and DroneCAN peripherals.
