The UAV Challenge organisers are very pleased to pass on the following exciting announcement from our Bronze Sponsor LightWare Optoelectronics

LightWare Optoelectronics is delighted to announce our equipment sponsorship of the 2016 UAV Challenge Medical Express.

Of course, there is the fun factor: what is more exciting than playing with a new high tech gadget?”

These laser rangefinders interface easily with flight controllers to assist with: AGL altitude maintenance; terrain following; precision hovering; and landing safety.
