MRA: Miniature Radar Altimeter

Delivering unparalleled performance for autonomous platforms, including fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft. The Roke Miniature Radar Altimeter (MRA) is the smallest and lightest radar altimeter in its class, providing you with accurate information in multiple domains and at pace in the harshest environments.

Delivering Optimal Altimeter Performance

The MRA delivers class-leading 2cm accuracy from just 20cm above ground – ideal for rotary or fixed wing UAVs as well as high speed platforms. Designed with your integration challenges in mind, it combines exceptional performance with minimal Size, Weight and Power (SWaP) requirements.

Designed for Mission Success

Precision at Pace

Your missions demand more payload capacity and longer operational range – and every gram matters. The MRA delivers class-leading altitude accuracy of 2cm while maintaining the smallest, lightest form factor available, reducing your SWaP requirements.

It provides reliable measurements from just 20cm to100 metres, ensuring consistent performance where standard barometric altimeters fail. Execute automated take-offs and landings with confidence, even in zero visibility or from pitching vessel decks.
