Lantronix’s introduction of its Drone Reference Platform highlights the increasing convergence of artificial intelligence and unmanned aviation. Built as an all-in-one development solution, the platform reduces integration complexity and dramatically shortens development timelines for secure UAS applications. Leveraging Qualcomm’s high-performance Dragonwing chipset, the system enables autonomous, real-time processing suitable for ISR, security, and industrial missions. Support for multisensor payloads and open-architecture software makes the platform adaptable across defense and commercial domains. Showcased at CES in Las Vegas, the solution reflects Lantronix’s strategic pivot from IoT infrastructure toward high-growth autonomous systems, as global drone markets continue to expand through the end of the decade.
