PRODUCT · SPC-AP FAMILY

One flight control computer. Four ways to deploy it.

A reconfigurable FPGA autopilot for drones, UAVs and UGVs. New sensors, protocols or security modules arrive in the field as firmware, not as a new board.

The four SPC-AP product variants side by side
SPC-AP-DEV
SPC-AP-CORE
SPC-AP-DEF
SPC-AP-SIM
SPC-AP-DEV

Developer module

Open stack for integrators and research teams.

SPC-AP-CORE

Commercial flight computer

The production module on its carrier board.

SPC-AP-DEF

Defence-grade variant

Rugged housing, sealed circular connectors.

SPC-AP-SIM

Hardware-in-the-loop unit

Test flight software on real hardware.

INSIDE THE MODULE

Four layers, one sealed module.

STEP 01 / 06Carrier boardThe only part that changes per airframe. Pixhawk-compatible I/O and antenna ports.
STEP 02 / 06Triple-redundant IMU coreThree inertial sensors on a board suspended by vibration dampers.
STEP 03 / 06FPGA flight computerThe reconfigurable SoC that runs control, navigation and security in parallel hardware.
STEP 04 / 06Sealed aluminium housingCNC-machined, with a conducted thermal path and the status light.
STEP 05 / 06Assembled and readyOne module. One integration. Ready to fly.
STEP 06 / 06Serviced from the topTop-down disassembly for inspection, upgrades and repair.
CARRIER BOARD

Your airframe, your connectors.

The carrier board holds every external interface. A new platform gets a new carrier, while the flight core and its qualification stay the same.

01Actuator and serial I/O
02CAN-FD and telemetry
03Sensor expansion
04Dual GNSS antennas
05Sealed flight core
