What is Detect and avoid?

UAVs and UGVs can keep a “lookout” for both stationary objects (trees, pylons, powerlines, stairs and manholes etc.) and moving objects (birds, other drones, people). Our LightWare microLiDAR® sensors are uniquely suited for these detect and avoid applications, offering long-range capability, native measuring technology, and a high update rate, ensuring you never miss an obstacle on your path.

We share knowledge:

Need active warning of possible obstacles?

LightWare’s scanning microLiDAR® will provide the angular direction and distance of obstacles entering the set scanning area back to the autopilot or pilot for decision-making.
