3.1. PREPARING THE INTEL® FALCON™ 8+ UAV
The following section shows and describes how to prepare the Intel® Falcon™ 8+ UAV
for flight.
When using the Intel® Falcon™ 8+ system for the first time, some additional steps are
required, which only need to be performed once. It might be necessary to repeat them
only in rare exceptions. In detail, these steps are:
• Establish the initial connection between Intel® Falcon™ 8+ UAV and Intel®
Cockpit Controller (CTR) (see “Establishing A Connection Between The CTR And
The UAV” on page 172).
• Set the system date and time on the touchscreen tablet of the CTR (see “” on
page 71).
• Perform a payload and compass calibration with every new payload (see
“Payload and Compass Calibration” on page 34).
• Visit https://intel.com/FalconDownloads and install the latest firmware on the
system (see “Intel® Falcon™ 8+ UAS Firmware Updates” on page 165). Regularly
check the website for updates.
Always strictly follow the instructions in “PRE-FLIGHT CHECK” on page 13 to make sure
that the UAV is in perfect condition and setup for flight.
