Maximum Power Point Tracker
Packet Digital
It’s essential to account for sunlight changes, solar-panel temperature, vehicle orientation, and other factors, for efficient solar power generation during long-endurance UAS operations. Packet Digital’s Maximum Power Point Tracker (MPPT) hardware and embedded algorithms take precise power measurements and adjust settings quickly to maintain maximum power transfer from solar panels to battery storage, pushing the limits on solar UAS operations.
Custom Designed Printed Circuit Boards
Packet Digital
Surface Mount Technology (SMT) is a key process in the electronics manufacturing industry, used for the assembly of electronic components onto printed circuit boards (PCBs). Packet Digital’s SMT line offers considerable advantages for PCB assembly including smaller component sizes, higher component density and increased automation.
Custom battery design for drones and unmanned aircraft systems
Packet Digital
Benefits of Packet Digital’s custom lithium-ion batteries for UAS and drones: 30–40% higher energy density than the competition, increased energy density allows for greater UAS range, 2–3x higher cycle life, rugged construction with IP67 capable, battery fleet management software with Packet Digital’s charging system, and design, prototyping, and manufacturing capabilities.
