Successful Test

Ichor Autonomy (IA) is pleased to share the first successful test of our 50A, 4-in-1 Electronic Speed Controller. This piece of electronics joins our in-house built Flight Controller (not previously published) to form the basis for a wide variety of quadcopter platforms. This combination of components form the fundamental requirements for First Person View (FPV) drones, as well as being used in Surveillance drones such as IA’s submission for the Advanced Strategic Capabilities Accelerator (ASCA), Sovereign UAS Challenge, and IA’s autonomous agent for complex terrain reconaissance, SPURT.

The flight stack is designed and built in Brisbane, Australia, and meets the requirements for NDAA compliance, making it suitable for inclusion in a wide variety of allied drones.

After a period of testing and validation to confirm the capabilities of the ESC under flight loads, Ichor Autonomy will begin the process to ramp up production of the flight stack which should exceed 2000 units per month.

“Its taken a number of iterations, but I’m really proud that our ESC is in a position to begin flight testing and then production”, said Peter Milani, Managing Director of Ichor Autonomy. “This is really a demonstration that Australian ownership and perseverance is key to bringing these capabilities to life” he concluded.
