Radar Altimeter

The Radar Altimeter is a lightweight, ultra-compact system developed to provide precise above-ground altitude measurements for airborne defense platforms. Built on an FPGA-based architecture and utilizing advanced digital signal processing techniques, it delivers accurate and stable altitude data during high-speed operations.

Designed for integration across a wide range of airborne systems, the unit supports deployment on aircraft, rotary platforms, and other aerial defense assets requiring reliable low-altitude awareness. Its modular architecture enables straightforward integration with both new and legacy avionics systems, supporting flexible adoption across existing fleets.

With a 50 Hz update rate and performance maintained at speeds up to 1.5 Mach, the system provides consistent altitude measurement in demanding flight conditions. All-weather capability ensures reliable operation across varied environmental scenarios, supporting mission continuity.

Optimized for low size, weight, and power requirements, the Radar Altimeter is suited to platforms where efficiency and performance are critical. Compliance with MIL-STD-810G and MIL-STD-461F standards ensures durability and electromagnetic compatibility in operational environments.
