The Market Asked. We Listened.
Obstacle Avoidance Radar — Arriving November 2026.
“Does Ainstein offer a collision avoidance radar?”
Since 2024, this has been our most frequently asked question. Yet today, there are very few commercially available, onboard obstacle avoidance radars purpose-built for commercial UAVs.
While commercial drone applications have expanded rapidly across last-mile delivery, smart agriculture, drone window washing, utility inspection, construction, and forestry, scalable onboard collision avoidance solutions have not kept pace.
And as the Federal Aviation Administration and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency advance BVLOS regulatory frameworks, onboard collision avoidance is quickly becoming essential, not optional.
Current ground-managed and networked airspace systems alone cannot address unpredictable, real-world obstacles such as trees, power lines, birds, non-compliant aircraft, or changing weather and lighting conditions in real-time. Drones need onboard awareness to operate safely and reliably.
Ainstein is proud to announce the upcoming launch of OA-Lite and OA-Pro, our new Obstacle Avoidance Radar solutions arriving in November 2026.
- OA-Lite is purpose-built to deliver low-SWaP, integration-ready collision avoidance sensing for commercial UAV manufacturers seeking scalable BVLOS capability.
- OA-Pro is designed for larger UAM, AAM, and cargo platforms requiring extended detection range and enhanced ruggedization.
More details will be revealed throughout 2026. To receive the latest updates, sign up for our Aero Newsletter.
