Nanoradar NRA24Pro

The Nanoradar NRA24Pro is a millimeter-wave distance and height measurement sensor for terrain-following applications. It combines a 0.2~500m detection range, 40Hz updates and ±0.02m accuracy over 0.2~22m with an IP67 enclosure. Integrated self-checking, out-of-range warnings and multiple communication interfaces support flight platform integration.

Product overview

The Nanoradar NRA24Pro measures distance and height using FMCW millimeter-wave radar, with a 40Hz update rate and a detection range of 0.2~500m. Ranging accuracy is ±0.02m over 0.2~22m, while its height output captures changes in ground elevation for terrain-following applications. The sensor accommodates vertical velocities up to ±60m/s. When height falls below 0.2m or exceeds 500m, automatic out-of-range detection displays confidence = 0, warning that the height data is unreliable. Integrated software and hardware self-checking further assists with data validation.

An IP67 enclosure houses the sensor in a 132.4×73.2×17.5mm package weighing 148g. Built for high-speed, high-impact and high-vibration environments, it supports operation in rain, snow, damp fog, salt spray and sandstorms, as well as day and night use without dependence on lighting. Protection can decline as the product wears. The NRA24Pro operates from 7~24V DC, consumes 1.4W and supports operating temperatures of -40~+70°C. UART, CAN, RS232, RS422 and RS485 interfaces support integration, with plug-and-play support for compatible PX4 and APM hardware.
