FSM:UAV‑NAV – Visual Navigation for Autonomous UAVs and Drones

Distortion‑free, NIR‑enhanced navigation camera module for SLAM, obstacle avoidance, and AI‑driven flight – engineered for precision and ease of integration.

FSM:UAV‑NAV – Visual Navigation for Autonomous UAVs and Drones

the FSM: UAV-NAV Navigation Camera Module

The FSM:UAV‑NAV is built for drone manufacturers and UAV system integrators who require pixel‑perfect navigation performance in real‑world conditions. The module’s ability to perform reliably in GPS-denied environments ensures dependable operation even when satellite signals are unavailable.

Powered by the Sony IMX900M/C 3 MP Global Shutter image sensor, the module captures distortion‑free imagery and offers enhanced NIR sensitivity for reliable operation in challenging lighting and during high‑speed movement. The module supports integration with multiple sensors, enabling robust navigation and flight control in diverse and changing environments.

Understanding the differences between global vs rolling shutter is essential when selecting the right imaging solution for UAVs.

Based on FRAMOS’ FSM:GO platform, it integrates seamlessly with embedded AI compute platforms like NVIDIA Jetson or NXP i.MX, allowing smooth scalability from prototype to full‑scale deployment.

Choosing the right camera module is a key step in ensuring reliable UAV navigation and performance.
