Completely Upgraded, Performance Doubled | Nanoradar Globally Releases NRA24Pro 500m UAV Altimeter Radar

2025-11-21


Abstract

When using altimeter radars on drones, have you encountered the following issues?

Unstable data near the ground

Inaccurate data when out of range

Large detection blind zones

......

Nanoradar introduces the NRA24Pro 500m UAV Altimeter Radar
Comprehensively upgraded from the highly praised NRA24, it truly enables precise perception and safe flight for drones!

SpecificationMetric
Altitude Range0.2 - 500m
Ranging Accuracy±0.02m (0.2 - 22m)
R/D AdaptAdapts to vertical speeds up to 60m/s
Beam WidthAzimuth 28°, Elevation 18°
Protection GradeIP67

Comprehensive Upgrade, Doubled Performance: Three Major Enhancements for Breakthrough Performance
Detection Performance Upgrade | More Stable, More Precise

500m detection range, over 2 times that of NRA24, coupled with low 2W power consumption, ensures strong drone endurance post-integration.

Static clutter filtering and phase processing suppress transceiver coupling interference, improving close-range signal-to-noise ratio for stable and reliable target detection as close as 0.2m.

±0.02m ranging accuracy achieved through multi-mode switching, offering over 2 times the precision of comparable products at close range.

Dynamic Response Upgrade | Better Vertical Speed Adaptation for High-Speed Maneuvers
±60m/s maximum vertical speed adaptability, over 2 times that of NRA24, ensures confident performance during rapid ascent/descent, strong wind interference, and emergency obstacle avoidance.

Safety Mechanism Upgrade | Out-of-Range Perception for Enhanced Safety

Automatically detects when drone altitude is outside the radar's range (<0.2m or >500m), displays "Confidence=0" on the interface as an active warning, alerting users to unreliable altitude data to ensure flight safety and operational decisions.

Safe, Reliable, and Precise Terrain Awareness
<1s Hardware-Software Self-Check | More Reliable Data

Integrated self-check functionality helps verify data correctness, enhancing safety and ensuring reliable output in various complex environments.

Terrain-Following Data Output | Clear Terrain Undulation

Unlike GPS altitude, NRA24Pro outputs height-with-terrain data, effectively showing ground contour changes regardless of terrain.

Multi-Sensor Fusion | Real-Time Excessive Attitude Warning

Fuses 6-axis gyro, accelerometer, and magnetometer to precisely monitor aircraft attitude. Issues warnings upon excessive tilt, prompting adjustment of radar orientation or flight attitude to ensure optimal detection performance.

Aviation Certification Compatibility: Modular Design Meets Airworthiness Standards
Fault Isolation | Physical + Electrical Isolation

Physical and electrical isolation between modules prevents single-point failure propagation.

Environmental Adaptability | Withstands Extreme Challenges

Key modules feature enhanced protection. Modular design supports "hot-swapping" or rapid replacement to minimize downtime.

Airworthiness-Level Safety | Complies with Airworthiness Standards

Inherently meets functional isolation and fault tolerance requirements of airworthiness standards.

Strong Adaptability for Complex Environments
All-Day, All-Weather Operation | Unaffected by Rain, Snow, Sandstorms

Unlike barometers, millimeter-wave radar altimeters are largely unaffected by wind, rain, fog, or darkness, providing stable data output continuously.

High Protection Rating | Suited for Complex Aviation Environments

IP67 housing makes it ideal for high-speed, high-shock, high-vibration environments, ensuring stable operation in rain, snow, humidity, fog, salt spray, and sandstorms.
 

Global Collaboration, Seamless Open-Source Flight Control Integration
Nanoradar is an official partner of 4 open-source flight control platforms (APM, PX4, FMT, ACFLY), supporting hardware like Pixhawk 4 and Cube Orange. Deeply adapted to protocols and frameworks like MAVLink and uORB for seamless plug-and-play integration.

Easy Integration: Multiple Interfaces, Compact Size, Low Power Consumption
Rich Interfaces | Flexible Use

Offers UART (TTL)/CAN/RS232/RS422/RS485 interfaces for diverse integration needs.

Lightweight & Low Power | Minimal Impact on Endurance

Approx. 148g weight and 2W power consumption ensure minimal impact on drone payload and flight time.

Compact Size | Wide Compatibility

Single-board dimensions: 132.4*73.2*17.5mm. Single-chip design minimizes size for compatibility with various drone platforms.
 

 Multiple Application Scenarios
The NRA24Pro is suitable for logistics drone altitude holding, agricultural drones, eVTOL aircraft, rescue drones, and more, deeply integrating radar technology into various low-altitude economy sectors.
