Building better UAVs using modular power
The UAV revolution is exploding today. UAVs are being used for surveillance, reconnaissance, security, commercial inspections, search and rescue and even humanitarian missions. While the applications are very different, they all grapple with similar power challenges. To improve performance, they need to:
- Maximize flight time
- Extend operational range
- Improve safety and reliability
- Upgrade existing functionality
- Increase payload
- Add new features
Vicor’s modular power is power-dense, lightweight and highly efficient.
Learn about the benefits of using power modules for UAVs from Tom Curatolo, Director of Applications Engineering.
