TFA1500-L 1500m Ultra Long Range LiDAR for UAV
The TFA1500-L is a kilometer-level high-frequency single-point LiDAR with a range of 1500 m and a maximum frequency of 800 Hz, enabling precise and rapid measurement and positioning of distant targets. It is used for inspection drones, drone payloads, and engineering surveying for distance maintenance and auxiliary positioning functions.

1500m (Max.) Long Range, Built-in Signal Margin

Real-world conditions are rarely ideal. Low-reflectivity surfaces, oblique angles, strong ambient light, and airborne particles all attenuate the return signal — reducing effective range well below what a sensor is rated for. The TFA1500-L long range LiDAR 's 1500m maximum range provides the signal margin to absorb these losses, ensuring stable, reliable measurements across diverse materials, target sizes, and extreme environments.

800Hz (Max.) High-frequency, Adaptive Control Loop Support

In any closed-loop control system, sensor update rate is a fundamental bottleneck — a slow sensor means the controller is always reacting to stale data, increasing the risk of instability at critical moments. The TFA1500-L long range LiDAR automatically scales its update rate with distance — a minimum of 60 Hz at long range to keep the control loop responsive, escalating to 800 Hz in the near field to provide the high-frequency distance feedback required for stable, precise near-field operations such as structure inspection and positioning hold.

11g Lightweight, Payload-Neutral Integration

Every gram added to a UAV gimbal or drone payload reduces flight endurance and narrows platform compatibility. At just 11g and ≤25×26×13mm, the TFA1500-L long range LiDAR adds ranging capability without meaningfully affecting the platform's weight budget or inertial characteristics — making it mountable on micro drones and lightweight gimbal systems.

UART + Native Ecosystem Support, Minimal Integration Overhead

Sensor integration often stalls at the software layer. The TFA1500-L outputs standard 3.3V TTL UART with a simple, well-documented data protocol, and carries native support for PX4 and ArduPilot ecosystems. 

Communication Interface: UART (TTL 3.3V)

Baud Rate: 500,000 bps
