Neousys FLYC-300-EC-JON8 NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX 8GB Enclosed Drone Companion Computer with 2x GMSL2

Not every airframe has a sheltered bay for a bare board, and a companion computer that carries a cellular link needs somewhere for its antennas to leave. The FLYC-300-EC-JON8 is the enclosed 8GB build in the Neousys FLYC-300 series: a drone companion computer on the NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX 8GB inside an enclosure at 345 g, with three antenna holes, that fits on a UAV or UGV without a separate housing.

In the FLYC-300-EC-JON8, the Orin NX 8GB system-on-module combines an NVIDIA Ampere GPU with Arm Cortex CPU cores and 8 GB of LPDDR5 at 3200 MHz. That covers a dual-camera detection and tracking pipeline, obstacle avoidance or a navigation model running beside the flight controller. Where the model set grows, the FLYC-300-EC-JON16 doubles the memory in the same enclosure and carries the series’ up to 100 TOPS figure.

The FLYC-300-EC-JON8 carries the full sensor set. Two GMSL2 FAKRA Z inputs take two 1920 x 1080 cameras at 60 FPS or two 2880 x 1860 cameras at 30 FPS, one GbE and one 2.5GbE port carry IP cameras, LiDAR or radar, and one USB 3.2 Gen 2 and one USB 3.2 Gen 1 port cover USB sensors. Internal UART, CAN 2.0, I2C and isolated 2x DI and 4x DO connect the flight controller. An M.2 2230 NVMe socket on PCIe Gen4 x4 and a micro SD slot hold the image and captured data, and the M.2 B key socket with micro SIM takes a 4G or 5G module.

Power arrives through an XT-30 connector accepting 12 V to 60 V DC, covering 4S to 14S battery packs directly. It operates from -25 °C to 40 °C without heat spreader attachment, to 60 °C with the heat spreader secured to an aluminum surface, and to 70 °C on that mount with 4S to 6S packs; sub-zero operation needs a wide temperature SSD. Neousys tests vibration and shock in operation to MIL-STD-810H, with EN 62368-1 safety and CE and FCC Class A EMC, so the drone companion computer suits environmental monitoring, inspection and autonomous navigation on aerial and ground vehicles.
