1. Product Prole
Introduction
The DJI A3 series is a reliable and robust ight control system that is ideal for a wide range of multi-rotor aerial
platforms. It uses advanced sensor fusion algorithms and redundancy design to maintain complete stability and
integrity of the aerial system.
The A3 series is fully compatible with the DJI Onboard and Mobile SDKs, allowing developers to optimize the
system for specic applications. When used with the DJI Lightbridge 2, it has direct access to features in the
DJI GO app such as Intelligent Flight Modes.
With all essential components integrated into the A3 ight controller (including the IMU, barometer, PMU and
data recorder), the device is powerful and highly compact. The A3 can be upgraded to A3 Pro by installing two
upgrade kits. The A3 Pro’s three GPS modules and IMUs add triple modular redundancy to greatly reduce the
risk of system failure.
