Intermediate Flight Controller

Click over video to play

An intermediate flight controller is used for research and commercial systems, professional UAVs, and high-end personal UAVs. NXP's controllers and processors help design flight controllers with custom interfaces such as individual motor tachometers to detect failure or obstructions.

NXP wireless products will also help developers to include RFID and NFC in their systems. NFC can be used for authorizing a pilot to fly in a specific area/airfield or to make quick setting adjustments to the flying characteristics. As well, RFID is increasingly being implemented for inventorying items in indoor and outdoor assets, such as livestock and power-line transformers.
