UAV proximity sensing

DroneSpeak™ definition of UAV proximity sensing
  • measuring the distance between an unmanned aerial vehicle and an object, without physical contact of the object
Overview
  • To be developed following this outline:
    • sonar-pulse distance sensing
    • light-pulse distance sensing
    • magnetic field change sensing
