Integration Notes

This AI Seeker is easy to integrate for UAV autopilot developers. It connects to mainstream flight controllers via serial or Ethernet, supporting standard interfaces including MIPI CSI-2 as defined by the MIPI Alliance. Optical axis calibration is required before flight tests to align camera FOV with airframe and convert tracking coordinates into valid flight control commands.

With low payload burden and stable tracking performance, the AIP-VI85 fits custom aerial defense projects. NovaSys provides datasheets, integration guides and technical support for bulk orders. Pair it with our MEMS inertial navigation modules and GNSS-denied navigation modules for a complete navigation solution. Every unit passes factory testing to guarantee reliable tracking in field conditions.
