102 Show report | AUVSI Xponential part one “We’ve designed it as a more dense package than its predecessor, with 12 motor outputs supporting PWM, DShot and GPIO, seven serial ports, two I2C ports and more,” explained Leonardo Garcia from 3DR. “It integrates TDK InvenSense’s latest generation inertial sensors for maximum stability, and we’ve moved to a singlesided board design for manufacturing, which has been key for putting a low price tag on it. We are proud to assemble and test everything within the US.” The company also showed the QZPro, its new development kit-style UAV that comes with 3DR’s Micro Companion Computer (MCC) for developing and installing custom and experimental software for vehicles and operations. The UAV comes with a simple architecture (including having all compute subsystems on a single board within a monolithic carbon fibre frame) and peripherals with open industry standards to help streamline developers’ work in bringing products (be they software or hardware) to market. Additionally, one of the key subsystems in the QZPro, as well as being a new standalone product offered by 3DR, is the Nimbus Pro radio. The system leverages the HaLow (the wi-fi IEEE 802.11ah) connectivity standard, enabling a medium bitrate and range performance between pre-existing alternative standards. “Nimbus Pro supports between 1 and 4 MHz of bandwidth, brings the IP stack to basic telemetry radios and enables mesh networking,” Garcia added. “That means you can track up to 600 UAVs or other assets from a single access point. We’re going to provide a web server to enable easy configuration of the IP stack, and it can also be paired to our current product line.” Septentrio spoke with us about some of the key qualities and developments across its new mosaic-G5 P1, P3 and P3H ultra-compact GNSS modules, starting with their GNSS jamming and spoofing resilience. “We’ve participated in many resilience tests, and recorded data from across a large plethora of jamming and spoofing scenarios, in order to develop and enhance automatic mitigations and anti-spoofing technologies in our mosaic-X5 module, both in wide band and carrier wave band,” said Francois Freulon of Septentrio. “We’re working gradually towards implementing that level of anti-jamming and anti-spoofing in our G5 products, and we already have a baseline resilience level, including for example the ability to set notch filters at specific frequencies where interferences are coming from.” He added that the P3 and P3H already integrate some automatic interference mitigations, such as automatic notch filter generations. The G5 systems are built on a new ASIC technology developed and manufactured in-house at Septentrio, with the full benefits of that ASIC to be expanded upon across 2026. The company anticipates the next round of expansions will include new features for applications surrounding critical infrastructure and similar high-end industrial work. Xoar International displayed its biggest propeller yet – a 94 in (238.76 cm) diameter, 22 in (55.88 cm) pitch system – to showcase its new capabilities (stemming from its wellsized, in-house machinery and tooling) in manufacturing and supplying larger (and aviation-certifiable) props for the advanced air mobility market, as well as very large, heavy-lifting UAVs. August/September 2025 | Uncrewed Systems Technology Septentrio is conducting extensive r&d to implement anti-jamming and antispoofing technologies into its G5 products Xoar International’s largest propeller yet measures 238.76 cm in diameter and 55.88 cm in pitch, exemplifying its capabilities for air taxis and heavy-lifting UAVs
