Ship smarter drones, faster
THE PROBLEM
Drone development is fragmented
Most drone manufacturers spend months assembling toolchains from scratch. Flight controller, companion computer, video, telemetry, ground control, fleet management. All separate. All incompatible.
ADOS reference designs collapse that into one pre-integrated stack. You start from a working baseline with onboard compute, HD video, and fleet management already wired together, then customize for your market.
REFERENCE DESIGNS
Two platforms to start from
Each reference design ships with integration documentation, board support packages, and the full software stack. Customize for your airframe and go.
Compact platform
5" reference drone
- AI-capable compute module with onboard inference
- Dedicated autopilot processor for real-time flight control
- HD video system with 50 km+ range
- 4G/5G cellular telemetry for BVLOS operations
- Full sensor suite: IMU, barometer, GPS, magnetometer
- Best for inspection, surveillance, and mapping
Payload platform
7-10" reference drone
- Extended platform with higher payload capacity
- Multi-sensor payload bay for mission-specific equipment
- HD video system with 50 km+ range
- 4G/5G cellular telemetry for BVLOS operations
- Redundant flight systems for commercial reliability
- Best for agriculture, delivery, and survey
WHY ADOS
The advantage for drone OEMs
Less integration, more building
Pre-integrated reference designs remove redundant engineering so you spend time on your product, not on wiring components together.
Months faster to market
Skip toolchain assembly and testing. Start from a purpose-built baseline and customize for your use case.
Purpose-built architecture
AI-capable compute, a dedicated autopilot processor, HD video, and 4G/5G on one board, designed for production.
Any jurisdiction
Documentation frameworks that map to FAA, EASA, CASA, DGCA, and other authorities. One platform, deployable anywhere.

EXTENSIONS
First-party extensions and the SDK
Mission Control and the agent extend through signed extensions. We publish first-party extensions for common payloads and ship an SDK so you can build your own, or ship a driver per SKU.
Battery Health
Cell-level diagnostics, predictive time-to-min, and anomaly alerts.
Thermal Camera
FLIR Lepton 3.5 over PureThermal 2 USB. Live overlay and MAVLink camera component.
MAVLink Gimbal v2
SimpleBGC, Storm32 NT, or Gremsy driver with manual sliders and ROI lock-on.
Vision Navigation
GPS-denied position hold via optical flow and monocular VIO for ArduPilot, PX4, and iNav.
Driver layer
A first-class extension pattern for cameras, gimbals, LiDAR, GPS, ESCs, and actuators.
Your own
Author signed, capability-gated extensions for your hardware and ship them via the registry.
