The firmware of the Intel® Falcon™ 8+ UAV consists of two different components:

Control Unit. There are two Navigational Processors, NAV1 and NAV2, built into
an Intel® Falcon™ 8+ UAV
.
• PER: Peripheral Processor = flight controller module of the AscTec Trinity
Control Unit. In addition to the two Navigational Processors, there is a third flight
controller module built in.
Each firmware/software (TRINITY.ATF, COCKPIT.ATF, and CockpitControl-
Installer_vx.x.x.exe) has its own version number. The currently installed firmware
versions can be checked in the menu of the Status Display. Pushing
ENT

To check the installed version of the Cockpit Control application, tap on the info button
