Our History

Since 1995, MicroPilot has been designing miniature autopilots using low cost COTS GPS receivers and mems rate sensors. From the start, MicroPilot autopilots have been compact and lightweight. Even our first autopilot fit - just barely - into a .40 sized RC trainer.

Since that time, MicroPilot autopilots have flown a wide range of UAVs - from three hundred gram MAVs to Backpack UAVs to high speed turbine powered targets. MicroPilot sells autopilots worldwide to academic, military, and private research institutions as well as to OEM UAV manufacturers and end users.
