Blackwing Payloads

Flight-ready payloads.
Built for Blackwing platforms.

Browse available Blackwing payload modules for compute, sensing, communications, and mission-specific development. Start with a known payload architecture, then configure it for your platform and mission.

Blackwing Payload Modules

Payload modules are designed to shorten the path from mission concept to flight-ready hardware and software. Most customers come to us with their own payload, built to the Blackwing payload specfication. We also make avilable pre-built, plug-and-play modules — either available directly from Blackwing or through partners - that deliver common mission functions like edge compute, imaging, and sensing, so customers don't have to build them from scratch.
