- Detection Range – 0.3-200m depending on sensor and direction
Aircraft Fusion Positioning
The combined omnidirectional sensing from rotating LiDAR, mmWave radar, and fisheye vision provides the Matrice 400 with exceptional positioning stability. It can fly close to glass-facade buildings or wind turbine blades and safely return from building edges, mountain bases, or bridge sides even without return point updates.
