Airborne Altimeter AR050-6M

Industrial-grade drones routinely encounter dust, mvula, nkhungu, and smoke — low-visibility conditions where vision and ultrasonic sensors are prone to failure, yet millimeter-wave radar penetrates the interference and delivers stable altitude readings. This all-weather capability, combined with strong interference immunity and a lightweight form factor, has made millimeter-wave radar the mainstream choice for drone altimetry. AR050-6M is purpose-built for this role — a 60GHz millimeter-wave radar altimeter engineered for precision altitude hold, terrain-following flight, and landing assistance.

The 60GHz band strikes an ideal balance between high measurement resolution and compact hardware. Built on FMCW technology, the sensor achieves millimeter-level ranging accuracy at low power, continuously feeding precise, real-time distance data to the flight controller. With native PX4 compatibility and dual-protocol support for MAVLink and DroneCAN, developers can integrate and deploy rapidly, shortening development cycles.

Compact and dependable, the AR050-6M provides trusted altitude awareness for any drone platform, with broad applicability across express logistics, agricultural spraying, power-line inspection, security surveillance, disaster response, scientific surveying, and beyond.
