μSharp Patch Sense and Avoid Radar
The μSharp Patch Collision Avoidance Radar offers the best flexibility for customers looking for the optimal collision avoidance solution for your applications. You may decide on a single patch and rely on the all weather proof high performance sensing from Aerotenna for your UAVs’ safe flight. Or you may choose to arrange multiple patches on your UAVs to cover the various directions that are critical for your applications.
Features:
- Higher payload with compact and lightweight design
- Longer flight time with ultra low power consumption
- High performance target detection and advanced algorithms
μSharp – 360° Sense-and-Avoid Radar
The μSharp360o is the first UAV radar system and offers 360 degree collision avoidance sensing. It scans 360 degrees without blind spots, locating targets on the horizon for reliable and quick reactions to change flight course. It’s ideal for applications that require high resolution in-flight sensing and collision avoidance for walls, buildings, tree branches and others in outdoor environment.
Features:
- Miniaturized, compact, and lightweight design with low-power-consumption
- 360-degree electronic scan without blind spots
- Advanced target detection and recognition algorithms
