Autonomous aerial and high-dynamic flight vehicles, such as UAVs, sounding rockets, and re-entry demonstrators, need modular avionics to withstand harsh conditions. Commercial flight controllers (e.g., Pixhawk, CubeOrange) work well for UAVs but do not have high-G tolerance, pyrotechnic control, or redundant fail-safes. NOVA fills these voids with a scalable avionics platform that includes a dual-MCU architecture (ESP32 master, ATmega backup), high-G accelerometer interfaces, pyrotechnic firing circuits with safety interlocks, and redundant logging. Validation consists of software-in-the-loop UAV flights demonstrating attitude settling <0.5 s in wind gusts, telemetry analysis with more than 90% packet delivery at 1 km, and SPICE modeling of pyrotechnic channels verifying more than 20% current margin and safe thermal performance. NOVA provides a low-cost, open, and adaptable solution to defense, academia, and civilian aerial systems.

摘要

Autonomous aerial and high-dynamic flight vehicles, such as UAVs, sounding rockets, and re-entry demonstrators, need modular avionics to withstand harsh conditions. Commercial flight controllers (e.g., Pixhawk, CubeOrange) work well for UAVs but do not have high-G tolerance, pyrotechnic control, or redundant fail-safes. NOVA fills these voids with a scalable avionics platform that includes a dual-MCU architecture (ESP32 master, ATmega backup), high-G accelerometer interfaces, pyrotechnic firing circuits with safety interlocks, and redundant logging. Validation consists of software-in-the-loop UAV flights demonstrating attitude settling <0.5 s in wind gusts, telemetry analysis with more than 90% packet delivery at 1 km, and SPICE modeling of pyrotechnic channels verifying more than 20% current margin and safe thermal performance. NOVA provides a low-cost, open, and adaptable solution to defense, academia, and civilian aerial systems.
