10 Autonomous Return-to-Home Technologies for Drones: Making Lost Connections History

8. Terrain Following RTH System

By letting drones keep ideal height above ground level during return flights, Terrain Following RTH System improves safety. This sophisticated system generates real-time terrain maps by combining radar, LiDAR, and topographic data, therefore enabling the drone to continuously change its height on route back home. Choosing the best course while preserving effective energy consumption, the system can spot and avoid both man-made and natural barriers. Real-time terrain data processing by advanced algorithms allows for seamless height changes that stop needless climbing or descent manoeuvres. In mountainous places or those with variable elevation, this capacity is very important.
