MP2128LRC| Specifications | Brochure | FAQ

Equipped with full airside and groundside UAV system components, the MP2128LRC is MicroPilot's premium UAV autopilot package. "LRC" stands for "long range communication," which refers to this product's most significant benefit, an integrated, redundant, long-range data communication link allowing greater distance and flexibility for your UAV system. The LRC ground unit uses standard, off-the-shelf radio modems. It adds RC control information to the existing GCS datalink and a second redundant datalink, which reduces possible failure modes.

Size Matters

2128 on a scale

The MP2128LRC airside unit features the MP2128g autopilot, world-renowned for its small size and weight.
Redundancy = Reliability  


A glimpse inside the LRC ground station reveals the redundant radio modems that provide high reliability.


HORIZONmp's Datalog Viewer allows you to analyze flight performance and get your UAV in the air faster.


LRC's small, low-weight but rugged aluminum enclosure protects sensitive electronics and is convenient to install in a variety of airframes.


MPJoystick functions provide long range manual control for versatile flight management.

  • The LRC's 1-watt data radio modem provides reliable communications for telemetry and GCS-originated control at a range of up to 50km
  • Fly-by-radio modem capability lets you manually pilot your UAV to a range of 50 km and is compatible with off-the-shelf JR and Futaba transmitters
  • Dual radio modem design allows for two distinct frequencies for manual control due to RF interference
  • Redundant microprocessors provide manual control even in the event of a complete autopilot failure
  • The LRC's small, low-weight but rugged aluminum enclosure protects sensitive electronics and is convenient to install in a variety of airframes
  • By preventing interference with other UAV subsystems, the aluminum enclosure provides optimum EMI/RFI protection that simplifies integration
  • With three control modes including autopilot, manually piloted and emergency direct servo override, you can be confident that your UAV will perform in all scenarios. Automatic switch between manually piloted and emergency direct servo mode allows instant recovery.
  • In the event of both autopilot and communications failure, a failsafe watchdog timer activates the parachute.
  • The LRC's high current drivers simplify on/off control of onboard devices such as lights and cameras.
  • Integrating the data radio modem, ADC converters, and high current drivers into a single package dramatically simplifies your wiring harness, reducing possible failure modes.
  • Aviation grade connectors integrated into package.
