US-D1 is small and light enough even for your small camera drones

3. EASY TO USE
Plug-and-Play and CAN/UART firmware upgrade
 OVERVIEW
Ainstein’s UAV Standard Radar Altimeter US-D1 is still the most
compact radar altimeter for UAVs on the market today. So small it
fits in the palm of your hands, you'll have greater flexibility with
precious onboard real estate and payload.

The Standard Radar Altimeter US-D1 is designed to work in a

multitude of environments from mountainous terrain to tree
canopies, sand and water.

Do you fly over lakes or the ocean? It’s normal for your UAV’s
components to get wet from choppy water, or simply from rain or
fog. Worried about your expensive UAV electronics getting coated
in mist from agricultural spraying, or covered in dust during takeoffs and landings?

Worry no more! Your drone’s performance shouldn’t suffer because of these real world
operating conditions. We’ve designed Ainstein UAV Standard Radar Altimeter US-D1 to meet
IP67 requirements – the highest protection rating for dust and water – making it impervious to
these conditions and more.

The result? Better performance and a longer lifespan for your UAV.

Will your drone fly at extreme speeds with lots of twists and turns? No problem! Thanks to
Ainstein’s UAV Standard Radar Altimeter US-D1, your drone will come through without a
scratch — even after all the sudden drops and vibrations!

AINST E IN UAV PRO RADAR ALTI METER

Ainstein UAV Long Range Radar Altimeter LR-D1 is a low cost high
performance mmWave Radar altimeter targeted for advanced
unmanned UAV and manned helicopters and other GA aircraft.

BUILT SOLID FOR TOUGH ENVIRONMENTS

• Small footprint
• Ruggedized design meeting IP67 requirements
• Smooth, consistent readout regardless the rough terrain, tree canopy
or choppy water.
• Up to 500 meter range measurement
• Low cost

It’s perfect for experimental helicopters and pilots under training in

safe takeoff and landing; it’s also a must-have for advanced UAVs in
automatic takeoff and landing.

 OVERVIEW
Have you tried to land your plane in stormy weather? Do you fly
over lakes or oceans often? Have you ever flown into an airport in
the mountains? Do you have a permit to fly in cloudy conditions,
but want added safety assurance?

Ainstein’s UAV Long Range Radar Altimeter LR-D1 provides

accurate altitude measurement in these diverse operating
environments, giving you the confidence you need to fly by
knowing exactly how much space you have to maneuver —
especially during landing.

With a maximum detection range of up to 1,640 ft, Ainstein UAV Long Range Radar Altimeter
LR-D1 is a cost-sensitive solution for advanced UAV, experimental manned helicopters, and
other GA aircraft.

The LR-D1 provides advanced cross-validation technology that continuously monitors

incoming data, assuring the measured altitude is accurate, even in low-visibility conditions.

Ainstein’s UAV Long Range Radar Altimeter LR-D1 also measures vertical speed of your
plane, giving you added data points for safe take-off and landing.

The Ainstein UAV Long Range Radar Altimeter LR-D1 is designed to meet IP67 requirements,
making it impervious to damage from dust, and waterproof up to 1 meter.
