Hornet Sensor Hub

Low-SWaP unit for real-time sensor data processing and reporting

Socials
Hornet Sensor Hub

The Hornet is a compact and lightweight sensor hub measuring just 3 x 2 x 2″, offering a diverse set of functionality including differential and barometric pressure sensing, Outside Air Temperature (OAT), RTD, Angle-of-Attack (AoA), and Sideslip sensor interfaces, as well as dual magnetometers, dual accelerometers and dual gyroscopes.

Powered by an ARM Cortex-M4 processor, the Hornet delivers real-time sensor data processing and reporting, supporting both CAN 2.0 and full-duplex RS-422 for versatile telemetry capabilities. The system is provided with an open-platform C++ SDK that allows it to be configured to your exact requirements.
