UAV Altimeter Radar UAM285
keyword：
Millimeter wave radar series
INTRODUCTION
UAM285 is a mid-to-high-end millimeter wave radar altimeter for drones. It is widely used in aircraft, eVTOLs, and applications like landing and vertical guidance. It provides terrain-following data, unaffected by ground variations or harsh weather (wind, rain, fog), ensuring all-weather operation. Integrated self-checking enhances data reliability and safety.
Features：
- Default detection range: 0.2–200m, maximum: 3000m
- The static clutter filtering technology is integrated, the data is stable, and the jump is prevented
- Multiple interfaces of UART/CAN/RS232/RS422/RS485 are supported
- Integrated software and hardware self-calibration function ensures reliable data output and meets the application of various complex environments.
- IP67 protection grade shell is manufactured to adapt to high-speed, high-impact and high-vibration environments, which is suitable for most heavy UAV applications
- Stable operation in rain, snow, humid fog, salt fog corrosion, sandstorm and other environments.
Application：
- Aircraft, eVTOL and other fields, such as aircraft landing and UAV vertical guidance

ADVANTAGES
 | Core Upgrades, Comprehensive Performance Evolution With a detection range of ≥3000m, it unlocks ultra-long-distance scenarios like high-altitude inspections. At 4.5W power consumption (half of similar products), it minimizes power load, preserving drone battery life. A near-ground safety feature ensures stable detection at 0.3m, achieved through static clutter filtering and phase processing to suppress interference. Ultra-high precision of ±0.03m is achieved via multi-mode switching, balancing close-range accuracy and long-distance detection. |
 | Aviation Certification Compatibility Key modules are reinforced: the power unit operates at -40°C to +85°C, and the signal unit is resistant to electromagnetic interference, suitable for high-altitude environments. |
Safe, Reliable, and Accurate Terrain Following The UAM285 features built-in hardware and software self-checking functions to verify data accuracy, enhancing safety and reliability in complex environments. Unlike GPS altitude data, the UAM285 provides terrain-following height data, accurately reflecting ground contours regardless of terrain. Integrated with a 6-axis gyroscope, accelerometer, and magnetometer, it monitors flight status and issues warnings for excessive tilt angles, ensuring optimal radar alignment with the ground. | |
Strong Adaptability for Complex Environments Compared to traditional barometric altimeters, the millimeter-wave radar is unaffected by wind, rain, fog, or other harsh weather conditions, enabling all-weather, day-and-night operation. With an IP67-rated enclosure, the UAM285 is ideal for high-speed, high-impact, and high-vibration environments, suitable for heavy-duty drones. It performs reliably in rain, snow, fog, salt spray, and sandstorms. | |
Seamless Integration with APM & PX4 As an official partner of APM and PX4, Nanoradar's drone radars are seamlessly compatible with these flight control platforms for plug-and-play functionality. |
