SATS-MINI - Sentinel Automatic Trigger System

The Sentinel Automatic Trigger System (SATS-MINI) provides unparalleled ability to quickly and reliably detect a drone failure as well as the ability to guard against false triggers, making it safe to use with high energy deployment systems that use CO2 or pyro gas ejection. The SATS-MINI supports many configurable features to allow tight integration between the autopilot and the SATS-MINI system. At the core of the SATS-MINI is a 9-DoF (Degrees of Freedom) IMU employing sensor fusion with absolute orientation capability. The SATS-MINI can be calibrated at any arbitrary position in order to set the Z-axis orientation (primary axis). This means the device can be mounted at any position or orientation on the drone. The SATS-MINI can discern between panning rotation along the Z-axis (yaw) being normal and other rotation along the X and Y-axes being a dangerous rotation. Dangerous rotation detection is based on a rotation of a given number of degrees occurring within a given time period, t
