A radar altimeter with a small form factor that reports reliable measurements up to 50m, making it an ideal sensor for any UAV or drone application.
3 common challenges of UAV operators
Barometer's are not accurate at low altitude
The US-D1 is accurate no matter what altitude
Laser altimeters don't work in all environments
The US-D1 is a radar altimeter so it works in all weather
GPS sensor accuracy varies by GPS signal strength
The US-D1 does not rely on anything but itself
Why choose US-D1 radar altimeter?
