US-D1 Pro Radar Altimeter

The US-D1 Pro from Ainstein delivers consistent, high-resolution altitude data across a 0.5–120 meter range, addressing critical UAV operational gaps where barometers, GPS, or laser-based systems falter.

Engineered with a robust 24GHz radar platform and 220MHz bandwidth, this compact sensor maintains accurate readings through fog, dust, water spray, and harsh light, providing unmatched performance for tactical drones, VTOL operations, and low-altitude missions. Its IP69K rating ensures resilience in extreme conditions, and the plug-and-play integration with ArduPilot and PX4 makes it ideal for both commercial and defense UAV applications.

The radar altimeter incorporates a CAN FD communication interface via a Molex 10-pin connector and is certified to DO-160, DO-178, and DO-254 standards, expanding its use in regulated aerospace environments. Unlike barometers or GPS-based systems, the US-D1 Pro operates independently and maintains precise altitude tracking regardless of environmental or signal fluctuations.
