Nanoradar NRA24 24GHz K-Band Altimeter Radar (24GHz FMCW, Range 200m, UART/CAN)

Ensure precise altitude holding and obstacle detection for UAVs and agricultural drones with the genuine Nanoradar NRA24 24GHz millimeter-wave radar altimeter. Utilizing 24GHz FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) radar technology, the NRA24 provides continuous, highly accurate distance measurements from 0.1 meters up to 200 meters above ground level (AGL).

Unlike conventional optical or LiDAR sensors, the NRA24 is completely unaffected by challenging ambient conditions such as bright sunlight, darkness, fog, dust, smoke, or water surface reflections. Housed in a lightweight, IP67 weatherproof enclosure, it features dual UART and CAN communication interfaces, making it natively compatible with ArduPilot, PX4, and commercial flight controller platforms (e.g., agricultural spraying drones and terrain-following UAVs).

Key Features:

• 24GHz FMCW Technology: High-precision K-band radar unaffected by light levels, fog, dust, or rain.

• Extended Detection Range: Accurately measures terrain height from 0.1 m to 200 m with up to ±0.02 m precision.

• All-Weather & Terrain Capable: Reliable distance measurement over dense vegetation, water, and dusty fields.

• Dual Communication Interfaces: Supports both UART and CAN bus protocols for seamless integration with PX4 / ArduPilot / Pixhawk controllers.

• IP67 Rugged Enclosure: Weather-sealed compact housing designed for outdoor agricultural and industrial drone operations.
