Forward Scatter Visibility Sensor

1、Forward Scatter Visibility Sensor Product Introduction

Forward Scatter Visibility Sensor calculates the atmospheric visibility value by detecting the forward scattering intensity of light sources in the atmospheric volume.Forward Scatter Visibility Sensor is designed for monitoring and collecting visibility and other meteorological data during flight of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or small unmanned inspection aircraft.

It features a compact design and uses the forward scattering method to detect atmospheric visibility, operating normally at altitudes of up to 4000 meters and temperatures as low as -20 degrees Celsius.

It has a flat, low-drag design and is mounted on the belly of the aircraft. Users can choose between ABS and aluminum alloy shell materials, and can also opt to install temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure sensors.

Forward Scatter Visibility Sensor consumes only 0.9 watts, making it ideal for small UAV platforms for low-altitude meteorological element inspection.
