Project Milestones:

  • March 2023

    • Initial phase of the Proof of Concept (POC 1/4).

    • Developed basic Python code to control a Cessna 152 in the X-Plane simulator, demonstrating foundational control capabilities.

  • May 2023

    • Advanced to POC 2/4 by adapting and implementing the control code on a development board to interact with the X-Plane simulation.

    • Enhanced understanding of hardware-software integration.

  • July 2023

    • Transitioned to POC 3/4 with the implementation of the system on an off-the-shelf UAV structure.

    • Integrated custom sensors, boards, and actuators.

    • Addressed significant challenges, marking a pivotal step in real-world testing and iteration.

Made in France from day one

  • February 2024

    • Conducted a flight test campaign, overcoming early setbacks, including several crashes that provided critical insights for system tuning.

    • The experience solidified the foundation of the Crosshair AvioniX project, a significant component of the broader CoraX initiative.

  • June 2024

    • Achieved a major milestone with the production of our first flight controller based on an ARM chip.

    • Designed a two-stage board equipped with advanced navigation units, establishing a robust avionics platform.

Crosshair Avionix V3

  • August 2024

    • Attained a new level of maturity in the codebase and electronics.

    • Successfully 3D-printed and tested the first structural prototypes in flight.

    • The CoraX UAV was officially conceptualized and entered the testing phase, marking the completion of POC 4/4.

  • December 25, 2024

    • On Christmas Day, Crosshair AvioniX achieved a significant breakthrough with its first successful waypoint mission and auto-landing operation, executed on the field using the testing platform UAV.

  • During 2025

    • Extensive testing has been performed on the CoraX 2 m and 1.5 m platforms, covering autonomous takeoff and landing, waypoint missions, geofencing, return-to-home, and loitering capabilities. The results of these tests have contributed to the refinement and improvement of the overall design.

  • 2026

    • The CoraX product lineup has been established, along with the initial Concepts of Operations (ConOps) defining real-world use cases across the CoraX family.

    • In parallel, several prototype units of the entry-level P1400 UAV have been designed and manufactured to validate the platform and support early operational assessments.

  • Next Steps

    • Complete the final development, validation, and deployment of the Horus Ground Control Station (GCS), ensuring full operational readiness and scalability.

    • Transition CoraX from a development initiative into a fully operational UAV company, with established manufacturing, quality assurance, and business processes.

    • Obtain the required certifications for the P1400 platform and finalize its preparation for commercial deployment and market introduction.

    • Develop and implement the infrastructure, operational capabilities, and strategic partnerships necessary to support future scaling, production growth, and commercialization activities.
