Above Ground Level (AGL) Sensor

The AGL family of sensors are laser altimeters designed and tested specifically for use on unmanned aircraft. The Latitude AGL Sensors are designed to facilitate autonomous landings for both fixed wing and helicopter UAVs.

The AGL units are versatile in both hardware and software. The housings are customizable to the needs of each vehicle, and the interface is supported by the Piccolo 2.0 autopilot software.
