Orqa UAVs Lead Croatia’s Defense Modernization at Zagreb Parade

Orqa unmanned aerial vehicles were officially presented for the first time within the framework of the Croatian Armed Forces’ modernization program, at the ceremonial military parade held in Zagreb.

The decision by the Ministry of Defence to include advanced UAV systems developed in Croatia within the military program, demonstrates both the technological maturity of the Armed Forces and the nation’s standing at the forefront of cutting-edge defence developments.

At a time when many NATO member states are actively modernizing their defence capabilities, Croatia demonstrates that the real strength of rearmament comes from the technological potential within the Alliance itself.

We are especially proud that Orqa, a company grown out of the civil technology sector, now has the knowledge and capabilities to provide sophisticated equipment that meets military demands. Therefore, we are honored that, together with the Croatian Armed Forces, we are strengthening the security of Europe and NATO members.

]]> Orqa NDAA autopilots and speed controllers https://borntodrone.org/orqa-ndaa-autopilots-and-speed-controllers/ Sat, 22 Jun 2024 15:48:31 +0000 https://www.suasnews.com/?p=98051

We are introducing our NDAA-compliant FPV drone component stack. This comprehensive solution for FPV systems features NDAA-compliant components, trusted by elite operators in the US and Europe.

All Orqa products are developed and manufactured in the EU, ensuring high quality and compliance with Western standards.

– FC3030 Pro Flight Controller
– ESC3030 Electronic Speed Controller
– IRONGhost Dual Sub Hybrid control receiver and analog video transmitter device

Unlike similar offerings, the FC requires no soldering, and uses reliable, lockable JST-GH connectors for connections to other parts of the drone.

Mounting Options

The FC ships with soft silicone rubber ‘gummies’ that should be used to mount the FC onto the ‘stack’. 

These gummies not only reduce sensor noise caused by props, but also play an important role in protecting the delicate sensors from extreme shock. 

If the FC is mounted atop the Orqa 3030 ESC, it is recommended to hard-mount the ESC on the supplied mounting hardware, and mount the FC on top of it using the gummies. 

Voltage and Current Sensor

Betaflight, and all other flight controller firmware platforms require calibration of the battery voltage, and current sensors.

These values depend primarily on the ESC used. If the Orqa 3030 ESC is used, the default values programmed will be correct. 

If a different ESC is used, there are several online guides explaining how to calibrate voltage, and current.
