What it is
Raptor Pilot Pro FC is an ArduPilot flight controller. It runs on an STM32H753 at 400 MHz and carries three IMUs from three makers, led by a tactical-grade ADIS16470 on a heated, thermally isolated island. It takes power straight from a 5S–12S battery and connects to the rest of the aircraft over JST-GH connectors.
We design it for our own drones, including the Baby Raptor interceptor, and sell it on its own. It is Pixhawk compatible: GPS modules, telemetry radios and CAN devices made for Pixhawk connect to it.
