Nav-Sync MRA LP
Slim Miniature Radar Altimeter for Precision altitude sensing in a lower profile form factor. The “low-profile” variant of our Nav-Sync MRA: same 2 cm precision, reimagined for the tightest envelope, flush integration, and compact platforms.
When volume is your most precious resource, compromise shouldn’t be on performance. Our low-profile radar altimeter delivers class-leading performance in a refined, slim package engineered for compact unmanned systems, and high-efficiency airframes. Ideal for designers who need altitude measurement in minimal size and thickness envelopes.
Precision at Pace
The Low-Profile Radar Altimeter delivers the same trusted performance as our Nav-Sync MRA, now engineered for tight envelopes, flush integration, and SWaP-critical UAVs. Ideal for micro-UAS and high-speed platforms, it offers full-precision radar altitude sensing in a slimmer form.
When every mm counts, choose the low profile version. Where envelope allows, choose the standard Nav-Sync MRA.
Nav-Sync MRA LP Use Cases & Advantages
-
Ultra-Compact Form Factor

MRA on MARS
We’re proud to have contributed to the British Beagle 2 Mars Lander mission. An early version of Roke’s Miniature Radar Altimeter (MRA) played a critical role in deploying the airbag system that cushioned the lander’s descent to the Martian surface on Christmas Day 2003. The technology was rigorously tested throughout its 200-million-kilometre journey from Earth to Mars, operating in one of the most demanding environments imaginable.
