Dronecode Foundation

The Dronecode Foundation is home to the @PX4Autopilot, MAVLink, QGC, and the MAVSDK for MAVLink. Dronecode is a US-based non-profit hosted by @linuxfoundation.

[Unmanned Systems Technology @UnmannedSystem]

@Dronecode Foundation participants produced 7 working integrations using the MAVLink-Military dialect, verifying cross-vendor implementations across uncrewed platforms, payloads, flight controllers and ground control stations end to end.
