Target Drones

Increasingly realistic and complicated flight profiles are required by operators of target drones. Over 4000 Piccolo autopilots have been provided to the UAV market making it a very mature, full feature autopilot for target drone solutions.

• The complete integrated Piccolo avionics package is light weight and easy to integrate.
• Manual, wheeled, and catapult launches are supported.
• Flight plans can be updated in-flight to support complex target behaviors.
• Piccolo can be programmed with a Geo-Fence feature that ensures the target does not leave the target range.
• Drones supported include small to large vehicles flying at very slow airspeeds to over 450kts.
• Lower cost software options are available that do not limit autopilot performance.
