Flight Controller Carrier Boards
ARK’s NDAA-compliant flight controller carrier boards are designed to provide enhanced I/O, connectivity and functionality for our range of controllers as well as other Pixhawk-based hardware. Based on open-source PAB (Pixhawk Autopilot Bus) standards, they feature powerful edge computing capabilities, integrated RTK GNSS, and more.
GNSS & GPS Receiver Modules
The company’s board-level GPS and GNSS receiver modules are based on industry-leading positioning technology from manufacturers such as u-blox, Septentrio and STMicroelectronics. The multi-band and multi-constellation receivers are ideal for providing defense and government drones and autonomous vehicles with precise and reliable positioning performance even under highly challenging conditions.
MEMS IMUs
ARK Electronics’ low-SWaP NDAA-compliant MEMS IMUs (inertial measurement units) have been developed in partnership with Analog Devices and Murata, and are designed to provide UAVs and robotic systems with reliable and high-accuracy orientation, velocity, and acceleration data. All sensors are compatible with PX4 and Ardupilot.
Electronic Speed Controller
ARK’s Blue UAS Framework-listed 4-in-1 ESC (electronic speed controller) provides precise and reliable motor control for a variety of drone platforms, supporting 3 to 8S battery input and providing up to 50A continuous current per motor. Running open-source AM32 firmware, the high-efficiency controller ensures optimal flight stability and power management.
