FlyCore Fusion Intelligent Control System Technical Manual

A highly integrated core drone system for OEM manufacturers, industrial drone integrators, and autonomous intelligent drone development teams.

FlyCore's official public-facing standard name is Fusion Intelligent Control System. It is not a conventional flight controller that is only responsible for attitude stabilization and route execution. Instead, it integrates flight control, perception and positioning, recognition and planning, video and data transmission, GNSS/inertial navigation, multi-sensor synchronization, ground stations, logging, OTA, and development interfaces into an intelligent drone core platform ready for direct airframe integration.

Conventional drone flight controllers are better suited to fixed routes, basic attitude control, and simple mission execution. Designed for "Drone 2.0" applications, FlyCore provides the hardware and software foundation for high-performance computing, multi-sensor fusion positioning, AI recognition, and autonomous planning. It helps customers shorten R&D cycles, reduce system integration complexity, and rapidly develop industry-specific drone products that are ready for mass production, maintainable, and open to secondary development.

In one sentence:

FlyCore is a Fusion Intelligent Control System that drone manufacturers can integrate directly. It combines flight control, perception, positioning, recognition, planning, and operations and maintenance capabilities on a unified platform, upgrading drones from "able to fly" to "able to perceive, locate, decide, and expand."

Core Pain Points Addressed

Product Features

1. Highly Integrated Hardware

FlyCore integrates 6 major units at the hardware level:

Perception and positioning onboard computer

Recognition, planning, and control onboard computer

Flight control computer

Vision and LiDAR perception sensors

High-precision GNSS and inertial navigation system

Video and data transmission link system (to be released)

At the system level, it meets the core hardware requirements of drone recognition, perception, planning, control, and AI applications.

2. Complete Software Stack

At the software level, FlyCore integrates:

• BSA-SLAM: vision, LiDAR, and GNSS fusion positioning and mapping software

• BSA-PX4: low-level flight control software

• ASDK interface software: the interface foundation for application development

• Ground station software: supports QGroundControl by default, with an optional professional Web ground station or PC ground station

• SpireCV image recognition software: optional installation

• Prometheus planning and control software: optional installation

The complete system provides a full OODA architecture, making it easier for customers to integrate their own drone application software.

3. High-Precision Fusion Positioning

The system is delivered with LiDAR and vision calibration configurations, and the relative sensor positions are factory-tested. Vision, LiDAR, IMU, GNSS, and other sensors are time-synchronized to improve mapping and positioning robustness.

4. Open Operations, Maintenance, and Development Interfaces

FlyCore provides a Web console and HTTP API that support real-time positioning status queries, plugin start/stop control, startup parameter management, calibration parameter management, map package management, log export, and OTA maintenance. Customers can use these interfaces to build their own host computer applications, industry application platforms, or automated operations and maintenance tools.

5. Designed for Intelligent Drone Integration

The FlyCore flight controller supports adaptation from medium-sized platforms to large industrial platforms. The documentation covers integration for 320/550 wheelbases, power system adaptation for medium-to-large platforms with 450-1000mm wheelbases, RTK configuration, vibration assessment, log analysis, and troubleshooting of typical faults.

• Delivery Value

  FlyCore's core value is not a single flight control board, but a practical foundation for intelligent drones:

  • Shorter R&D cycles: eliminates repeated integration of flight controllers, companion computers, sensors, GNSS, synchronization, ground stations, and logging systems.

  • Lower technical barriers: factory calibration and standard commissioning procedures reduce on-site uncertainty.

  • Greater product competitiveness: equips drones with fusion positioning, AI recognition, autonomous planning, and open development capabilities.

  • More stable delivery: logging, status monitoring, OTA, and the Web console make after-sales maintenance more manageable.

  • Easier secondary development: ASDK, Web API, and the OODA architecture allow customers to extend industry applications on a unified platform.
