Drones

OEM Laser Rangefinders for
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)

Modern drone platforms require lightweight, highly reliable sensors that deliver precise distance data without putting unnecessary drain on flight batteries. Our ultra-compact DMM (Distance Measurement Modules) are optimized as OEM laser rangefinder modules for seamless integration into fixed-wing and multi-rotor UAVs. They effortlessly withstand hard landings thanks to an extreme shock resistance of up to 1,500 g and operate perfectly for precise terrain following at medium to high altitudes as well as tactical sensors. As a German manufacturer, we guarantee a 100% ITAR-free supply chain for maximum independence in your global projects.
