Introduction to Drone Sonar System

Drones have become increasingly popular in recent years, with their ability to capture stunning aerial footage and assist in various industries. One of the most important features of a drone is its sonar system, which allows it to navigate and avoid obstacles. But how exactly does a drone’s sonar system work?

Sonar, short for Sound Navigation and Ranging, is a technology that uses sound waves to detect objects and determine their distance. Drones use sonar in a similar way to how bats use echolocation to navigate in the dark. The drone emits a sound wave, which then bounces off objects and returns to the drone.
