Built for Autonomy, Not Adapted to It
Spotter is the onboard brain that small autonomous vehicles have been missing. It is built on the Qualcomm® Dragonwing™ QCS6490 and the Lantronix Open-Q™ 6490CS SOM, and packs up to 12.5 TOPS of AI performance into a 42 × 120 mm board that draws under 7 watts. That is enough intelligence to run real autonomy without the cost, weight or power of a GPU platform. Dual MIPI CSI camera inputs, analog video, dual IMUs, a precision barometer and magnetometer, and an optional STM32H7 flight and vehicle controller come integrated on a single production-ready board, so OEMs spend less time on system integration and more time on their own autonomy and mission software. Spotter supports PX4, ArduPilot, Betaflight and MAVLink, and it powers everything from vision-based detection and tracking to multi-drone teaming, short-range reconnaissance and warehouse robotics across air, land and sea. It is NDAA and TAA compliant, has a 10+ year lifecycle and comes from the team whose compute already flies in Blue UAS–approved drones.
