Modular Avionics & Sensor Integration
The Black Knights Fixed-Wing UAV is designed with a fully modular architecture, allowing seamless integration of both first-party and third-party avionics and sensor payloads. This unique design enables the platform to be configured for various missions, including reconnaissance, electronic warfare, and strike operations.
Open-Source Flight Control Systems
Our UAV is compatible with industry-leading open-source flight control systems, such as:
- ArduPilot – A widely used, highly adaptable autopilot software that supports Pixhawk, Mateksys, and Holybro flight controllers.
- PX4 – A professional-grade modular flight control firmware optimized for precision navigation and autonomy.
- Auterion Skynode S – AI-enhanced and designed to resist electronic warfare threats.
- Veronte Autopilot 4x – A military-grade, redundant autopilot for high-risk operations.
These systems provide robust mission planning, real-time control, and GNSS-denied navigation while keeping hardware costs flexible.
Advanced Navigation & IMU Systems
Our UAV integrates high-precision inertial measurement units (IMUs) and navigation systems for optimal flight control, even in GPS-denied environments:
- Inertial Labs INS-DU – A dual-antenna GPS-aided INS with 1 cm RTK accuracy, ideal for long-range and high-precision applications.
- Phins Compact C3 INS – A fiber-optic gyroscope (FOG)-based system that maintains high accuracy even under electronic warfare conditions.
- MEMS-Based IMUs – Including Inertial Labs IMU-P for cost-effective, lightweight UAVs.
Power & Propulsion
Black Knights Drones can be configured with different propulsion systems based on mission requirements:
- Electric Propulsion – Silent, low-maintenance, and ideal for reconnaissance and ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance) missions where stealth is critical.
- Gasoline Engines – Extended endurance for long-range missions, including loitering munitions and **deep-strike kamikaze UAVs.
The modular power system allows rapid swapping between electric and gas engines, ensuring adaptability for various operational needs.
Ordnance Integration
For military applications, the Black Knights UAV is designed to carry and deploy a range of ordnance, including:
- Precision-guided munitions (PGMs) - Loitering munitions (kamikaze drones)
- Small payload explosive devices
The UAV features an integrated detonation and release mechanism that ensures secure payload deployment and impact accuracy.
Electronic Warfare (EW) Capabilities
To counteract enemy jamming and detection, Black Knights UAVs feature:
- Anti-Jamming GPS Modules – Resistant to foreign electronic warfare threats.
- Passive RF Sensors – Detect and locate enemy radar and communication signals.
- Communications Encryption – Secure, military-grade data transmission for real-time C2 (Command & Control).
Mission-Specific Modularity
Our UAS platform is built for mission-specific adaptability, offering:
✔ Rapid component swapping for different sensors, flight controllers, and power systems.
✔ Field-reconfigurable avionics to support ISR, strike, and EW missions.
✔ Cost-efficient customization, ensuring every drone is optimized for its operational role.
This modularity reduces costs, enhances mission flexibility, and ensures rapid deployment in dynamic environments.
