COTS Products
Taurus BLDC Motor Controllers
Our Taurus BLDC motor controllers utilize full four-quadrant Field Oriented Control (FOC) and Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) to achieve the utmost in efficiency. All models also offer customized control loops for speed, torque, voltage, power, and other more advanced modes, as well as bi-directional communications.
The controllers support active regenerative braking, and can also be integrated into a generator system to form the basis of a hybrid electric powertrain.
Options include:
 Taurus C60IP67-rated unit Up to 12S (50.4V) output ±100A peak operation (60s) ±70A continuous operation |
 Taurus AEBoard-level solution Up to 12S (50.4V) output ±30A peak operation (60s) ±20A continuous operation |
 Taurus 400 SeriesSpecially customized to each end user Up to 96S (403.2V) output ±120A peak operation (60s) ±100A continuous operation |
Clio Series B – Flight Computer, Power and Data Hub
Clio
is an all-in-one computation, communications, and power distribution hub designed to save harness weight and space in constrained vehicle designs. It can be utilized as a high-powered flight computer or just a low-power data and power switch, and is provided with our board support and application framework to allow developers to utilize only the functionality that they need.
Based around a STM32H7 microcontroller and Xilinx Spartan 7 FPGA, Clio runs FreeRTOS as standard with lwIP integration, and provides 2 Ethernet and 17 serial ports, 9 switched power outputs and various GPIO with an array of customizable options.

Comet E-Stop & FTS System
Comet
is a radio-linked remote-stop and flight termination system that has been rigorously designed to ensure that no single failure causes termination. The solution consists of a Vehicle unit and an Operator unit, and includes dual redundant processing and redundant termination circuits, as well as dual Ethernet or dual CAN-FD telemetry links.
One Vehicle unit can support up to two Operator units as standard in line-of-sight operation, and options are available for BVLOS (beyond visual line of sight) operation as well as support for up to eight Operator units.
