AAoA Triple Pressure Sensor 

AAoA Triple Pressure Sensor 

The AAoA triple pressure sensor from Amphenol All Sensors is designed for air data sensing systems tailored for UAV applications. Three sensors in one package- factory calibrated together for precise, reliable measurement—dynamic (pitot), static (barometric), and differential pressure—enables the simultaneous derivation of airspeed, altitude, and angle of attack (AoA). Leveraging Amphenol All Sensors’ expertise in ultra-low pressure sensing, the device provides high accuracy, temperature compensation, and digital interfaces (I²C/SPI) in a lightweight, surface-mount package suitable for embedded flight systems. Related UAV-focused solutions, such as the AUAV Series, similarly integrate multiple pressure channels into a single module to reduce size, power consumption, and system integration complexity while maintaining precise air data measurements in demanding environments.

With our state-of-the-art dual pressure sensor combining both Barometric (Altitude) and Air Speed Sensing in a single PCB mountable package and sensors to detect head wind, cross axis wind, we are helping UAVs increase productivity, reduce risk, and maintain payload stability.

By integrating sensors capable of detecting headwind and cross-axis wind, this compact and efficient solution empowers UAVs to operate with enhanced productivity. The precise altitude and airspeed measurements allow for more accurate and stable flight paths, which is crucial in reducing operational risks and ensuring the safety of both the UAV and its surroundings.

Additionally, the ability to effectively counteract wind disturbances plays a pivotal role in maintaining payload stability, thus ensuring the integrity of sensitive cargo or equipment being transported. This dual functionality not only streamlines the sensor system within UAVs but also contributes to more reliable and efficient operations, catering to a wide range of applications from commercial deliveries to critical surveillance missions.
