Radar Altimeter (TRA 3500)

New-Sense uses a FreeFlight TRA-3500 real-time radar altimeter system on its airborne surveys. The altitude is used for more accurate navigation and drape coverage, and adds an extra measure of operational safety during landing and/or hovering. In addition the TRA 3500 provides 5% accuracy from 0 to 2500 ft (0 to 762 m), allowing New-Sense Geophysics to produce high quality Digital Terrain Models (DTM).
