Airvolute

Airvolute is a Slovak company that builds autopilots and unmanned aircraft. It says its work follows MOSA, the Modular Open Systems Approach. The company is registered in Trnava and says it is ISO 9001 certified. It also names resilient supply chains as a selling point.

DroneCore autopilots

The DroneCore range joins a flight controller and an AI computer on one platform. The company lists four boards.

• DroneCore Suite 2: an NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX 16 GB with an integrated Cube or v6X flight controller, rich connectivity, redundant power lines and low EMI design.
• DroneCore Jerboa: a single board design with an STM32H7 flight controller. It weighs 123 g with the Orin.
• DroneCore 2 VTOL: built for fixed wing and VTOL aircraft, with a 100 V architecture.
• DroneCore Hedgehog: a low cost board with Hailo AI acceleration for onboard vision. The company lists it as ITAR free.

Software and integration

The boards work with PX4 and ArduPilot and use MAVLink. Airvolute ships preinstalled images with mass flash support, and it offers standard interfaces for sensors and payloads. It publishes documentation, a community forum and open source code on GitLab and GitHub. A signed NDAA declaration is posted on its site.

Aircraft

Airvolute also builds two drones. Stribog ISR is an unmanned aircraft for surveillance work. Patron FPV is a powerful quadcopter with an open architecture, so developers can write their own missions.

Shop and customers

Airvolute lists its autopilots and development kits in an online shop, with prices in euros. Customers quoted on its site include makers of security drones and of micro and indoor UAVs. One says the tight integration of DroneCore cut its manufacturing time and added new abilities.

Recognition

The company says its work is supported by the European Union through NextGenerationEU. It was named one of Europe's 250 fastest growing companies in 2026.
