What is μLanding™ ?

The Smart, Compact, All-purpose Radar Altimeter

μLanding™ is a miniaturized microwave radar altimeter that provides accurate above-ground-level (AGL)

altitude information in real time. It can be used for autonomous takeoff, Landing™ and waypoint

navigation for UAVs/drones as well as maintaining a target altitude during flight.

At 68 x 78 x 15mm and 30g (60g with enclosure), it's the smallest and lightest radar altimeter on the market

and a great solution even for small drones.

Designed with the end user in mind, μLanding™ is quick to install, easy to use and seamlessly interfaces

with Aerotenna's OcPoC SoC flight controller or other flight controllers.
