Description
The ARK Jetson PAB V3 (Pixhawk Autopilot Bus Carrier V3) is a USA-made, NDAA-compliant carrier board that combines the Pixhawk Autopilot Bus specification with an NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX/Nano carrier board. Thanks to the PAB form factor, it can be paired with any PAB-compliant flight controller such as the ARKV6X, forming a compact compute unit for drone and robotics applications.
The board combines a powerful NVIDIA Jetson onboard computer with a Pixhawk flight controller on a single platform. It supports the Super Power Mode of the Jetson Orin NX/Nano and provides a wide range of standard interfaces for cameras (CSI), USB, Ethernet, M.2 expansion, and autopilot connectivity. A built-in 10/100 Ethernet switch connects the Jetson, flight controller, and Pixhawk Payload Bus. The board also functions as a standalone Jetson carrier board without a flight controller.
