Expanded Capability for Advanced Applications
Next generation Piccolo ll, open autopilot architecture solution for advanced UAS applications
Coming Soon: Advanced sensors, powerful processing, increased memory, elevated lift with a hybrid multirotor VTOL solution.
The Piccolo Elite Classic (next generation Piccolo ll) autopilot provides a complete integrated avionics solution that includes the flight control processor, inertial sensors, ported air data sensors, GPS receiver and datalink radio. With over a decade in the field the Piccolo II Autopilot has become the UAS industry standard flight management system. The Piccolo ll adds functionality and flexibility for advanced UAS applications.
