The NRA24 50/200m radar module delivers high-precision altitude measurement capabilities for agricultural spraying and aerial mapping drones. Utilizing 24GHz FMCW millimeter-wave radar technology, it provides accurate terrain-following from 0.1-200m with exceptional performance over diverse surfaces including crops, water, and uneven terrain. Engineered for direct integration with APM/Pixhawk flight controllers, this rugged sensor maintains reliable operation in challenging environmental conditions such as pesticide spray, dust, rain, and fog.
