  • The custom module combines Lantronix Open-Q 6490CS hardware with preloaded Swarmer OS.
  • The companies say the design provides more than four times the onboard processing of current platforms for navigation, targeting and collaborative autonomy.
  • The programme targets a production-ready, NDAA-compliant module for small military uncrewed aircraft.

Lantronix supplies embedded compute, IoT connectivity, edge AI, networking and device-management products for industrial, enterprise, smart-city, defence and autonomous-systems applications.
