Product overview
The Nanoradar NRA15 measures distance and altitude for plant-protection and express-delivery aircraft, with additional uses in moving-target detection, safety ranging and collision prevention. Its FMCW radar provides a detection range of 0.5~100m, ranging accuracy of ±0.1m and a 40Hz update rate. Beamwidth is 41° in azimuth and 37° in elevation. CAN/UART interfaces support integration with a host computer or MCU, while customized versions support development with open-source flight controllers, including APM and PX4.
An integrated MMIC design and a planar microstrip array antenna with one transmitter and one receiver form the NRA15’s compact sensing architecture. The antenna reduces susceptibility to ground clutter and targets outside the main beam, supporting continuous operation over complex terrain including grassland and water surfaces. The sensor measures 102 × 56 × 16.5mm and weighs 81g. It consumes 1.1W from a 5~16V DC supply, carries an IP66 protection rating and RoHS certification, and has operating and storage temperature ranges of -40~+85℃.
