About CUAV

CUAV develops core control and navigation electronics for open unmanned systems. Its catalogue includes Pixhawk-class and compact intelligent controllers, GNSS and RTK positioning modules, DroneCAN airspeed sensors, telemetry and image links, power-management units, compasses and interface peripherals. The hardware supports multirotors, fixed-wing and VTOL aircraft as well as unmanned ground vehicles, vessels and robotic platforms built around ArduPilot, PX4, DroneCAN and MAVLink.

The Guangzhou company combines development with an in-house manufacturing base containing automated SMT production and test facilities. Current families include Pixhawk V6X v2, X7+ Pro and 7-Nano v2 controllers, C-RTK and NEO positioning modules, LBA communications hardware and SKYE airspeed sensors. CUAV therefore sits inside the vehicle electronics stack: its modules provide flight control, positioning, data links and power interfaces that system builders integrate with airframes, propulsion, payloads and mission software.
