| Obstacle sensing architecture | Omnidirectional binocular vision supplemented by an infrared sensor beneath the aircraft. |
| Forward sensing |
|
| Rear sensing | Measurement range: 0.5–18 m; FOV: 90° horizontal, 72° vertical.Effective obstacle avoidance at flight speeds ≤14 m/s; richly textured surfaces and illumination greater than 15 lux. |
| Lateral sensing | Measurement range: 0.5–30 m; FOV: 90° horizontal, 72° vertical.Effective obstacle avoidance at flight speeds ≤14 m/s; richly textured surfaces and illumination greater than 15 lux. |
| Vision sensing environment | Forward, rear, lateral, upward and downward vision depend on surface texture and lighting; downward vision also depends on diffuse reflection and surface reflectivity.Vision sensing requires richly textured surfaces and illumination greater than 15 lux; downward sensing additionally requires diffuse surfaces with reflectivity greater than 20%. |
