Piccolo Developers Kit

Complete operational start-up kit for the Piccolo Autopilot

The Piccolo Autopilot Developer's Kit provides the items needed to operate the Piccolo in a Hardware-In-Loop (HIL) bench simulation environment. HIL simulation is a cornerstone of unmanned aircraft development. Well-designed simulators allow the aircraft control laws and mission functionality to be tested without risking hardware in flight test.
