V5+®is an advanced autopilot manufactured by CUAV®. It was designed by CUAV®in collaboration with the PX4 team.

The autopilot is recommended for commercial systems integration, but is also suitable for academic research and any other use.

Some of its main features include:

• Full compatibility with the Pixhawk project(opens new window) FMUv5 design standard and uses the Pixhawk Connector Standard(opens new window) for all external interfaces.
• More advanced processor, RAM and flash memory than FMU v3, along with more stable and reliable sensors.
• Firmware-compatible with PX4.
• Modular design allows users to customize their own carrier board.
• Built-in vibration dampening system with high performance shock absorption system.
• Multiple-redundant sensor and power systems for improved flight safety and stability.
