Home Products UAV-X™
UAV-X – Ultra low power systems for UAVs and sensor platforms

The PXA270 powered UAV-X is a rugged single board computer running at 520MHz. The system is optimized for data collection and automation operations for UAV (Unmanned Autonomous Vehicles, Air, Land, Sea or Sub-Sea), Intelligent Security Cameras, 'leave behind' monitoring stations, and submerged or floating monitoring buoys. Extensive partitioned power management and the ADSmartIO™ subsystem provide extremely low power consumption, with sleep and deep sleep states in the micro-amp range and full turbo operation still sub-watt. The UAV-X will provide leapfrog performance over typical SBCs now used in UAVs by employing additional features embedded in the COTS silicon. These features include direct Intel QuickCapture™, 4 megapixel camera CCD input and DSP built into the PXA270 chip (Applied Data would provide the OS API to access this capability).

This is fully proven design, available in sample/development quantities and in OEM production runs. However, it is not considered a Stocked Product. Apart from a few engineering samples, we do not keep stock, so an OEM agreement is required to secure production delivery.  Likewise, the specifics of the software configuration need to be evaluated for each application.
