The Intel Cockpit Controller is the main control hub for the Intel Falcon 8+ UAV, and the attached payloads. It is designed to
be carried and operated by one person, and displays all relevant ight information.
The communication between the Intel Cockpit Controller, and the Intel Falcon 8+ UAV, is realized by two independent 2.4
GHz digital data links. The preview video is transmitted digitally on 5.8 GHz. The Intel Cockpit Controller uses the same
battery type as the Intel Falcon 8+ UAV. The battery is located in the battery compartment, which can be accessed from the
bottom of the Intel Cockpit Controller.
