Lightweight Laser Altimeter - AGL Sensor
AGL Sensor
CCT part number - 500-01377-00

The AGL Sensor

 has the best range-to-weight ratio of any small laser altimeter. This makes it ideal for any small unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The AGL Sensor was designed for easy integration into small UAVs, with special considerations made to its weight and size for that purpose. The AGL sensor is designed to work with CCT’s Piccolo line of autopilots, running Piccolo software version 2.0.3 or greater. Interfaces to additional autopilots are under development.
