Overview

The complete brain, in one module

CubeAI 5G is DroneAI's flagship — a single integrated module that gives an autonomous machine everything it needs to think, fly and stay connected. Inside one unit are the EdgeAI OS and a dedicated AI processor running detection models, a Cube Orange+ class flight controller, a 5G modem and secure telemetry. Instead of integrating five subsystems yourself, you drop in one board.

Because inference runs on-board, the mission keeps thinking even when the link drops — detections are made at the edge and streamed over 5G to DroneAI Cloud Control Solution for beyond-line-of-sight control. The same module fits a UAV, a UGV or a USV, so a capability you prove on one platform carries straight to the next.

It is designed to be no-code and plug & deploy: secure boot, signed firmware and encrypted telemetry come configured out of the box (DGCA Sec-7 ready), which is how CubeAI 5G cuts a typical integration from months to weeks.

What's inside the box

Three subsystems, one unit

Flight control

Integrated Orange Cube

One of the most advanced flight controllers available — triple-redundant IMU sensors, ArduPilot compatible, proven on professional drones, UAVs, rovers and even submarines.

Compute

NVIDIA mission computer

Powers the drone's advanced software — on-board computer vision, digital HD video streaming and payload data streaming.

Connectivity

5G / LTE + WiFi

Integrated LTE/5G and WiFi modules hold a permanent broadband link — the always-on connection that makes remote, beyond-line-of-sight workflows possible.

In the box: the DH-AI-5G main unit, 4× antennas for 5G and LTE, a power module and the full cable set — CSI cable, XT60 and XT30 harnesses.

One deployable unit

Everything the mission needs, on‑board

Autonomous machines need a brain. CubeAI 5G carries the AI processor, a Cube Orange+ flight controller and secure 5G in one field-ready unit — drop it onto any airframe, rover or vessel and it is ready to fly.

  • On-board detection keeps running even if the link drops
  • Cube Orange+ class flight controller integrated
  • Encrypted telemetry over 5G to DroneAI Cloud Control Solution
  • Ready to drop into UAVs, UGVs, USVs and more

Edge to cloud · Encrypted end-to-end

From the airframe to the command post

Sensor feeds run through the on-board AI processor, then stream encrypted over 5G to DroneAI Cloud Control Solution — enabling true BVLOS mission control with live AI detections.

  • Gimbal, depth camera and Lidar inputs
  • Real-time AI detection overlays
  • Encrypted 5G telemetry and video
  • BVLOS missions from the cloud

On-device AI

Two detection models, live at the edge

Detection runs on the module and streams annotated video and geotagged detections to the dashboard — with tools to focus and review what the AI sees.

In-house

Aerial model

Developed in-house to detect objects both in the air and on the ground — the hard aerial-vantage case that off-the-shelf models miss.

General

Standard YOLO

A widely-used object-detection model known for its speed and accuracy, selectable live from the dashboard.

Focus

Regions of interest

Draw ROIs on the live feed to generate specialised analytics for just those zones.

Geotagged

Analytics & session history

Every detection is pinned to GPS coordinates on a map and reviewable by session — current or historical.

Why DroneAI

Upgrade what you fly — don't replace it

The kit mounts beside the autopilot on one cable. Nothing is removed and nothing is retrained: the pilot keeps the radio, and the commander gets AI alerts and live video over 5G.

Keeps your fleetAny MAVLink drone (ArduPilot, PX4); closed commercial drones via EdgeAI at the ground station.
Non-Chinese, NDAA-compliant5G modem on n78 (3.3–3.8 GHz), separate from your 2.4/5.8 GHz RC bands.
Your data, your serversEncrypted tunnel, outbound connections only; host C2 and AI training on-prem.
Works when the link dropsAI keeps running on board; detections go through as small packets and the RC link stays as backup.

Questions buyers ask

Before you decide

Who are CubeAI5G and Cube5G for?

Manufacturers and integrators building new drones, rovers or boats. They include the flight controller, so they go into new platforms rather than upgrades.

Which autopilot do they run?

A Cube autopilot running ArduPilot.

How is the firmware protected?

Secure boot and signed firmware updates.

What if 2.4 GHz and 5G both drop?

Cube5G switches to 5G when the Herelink link drops, and an optional satellite backup covers the case where both links drop.

What is in development?

GPS-denied navigation by visual and terrain matching, and a single-board unit with flight controller, GPU AI and 5G for small, FPV and interceptor drones.
