  Operating Environment	60G millimeter-wave radar sensing system: Supports all-weather obstacle avoidance for glass, water, wires, buildings, and trees in 6 directions. Its obstacle avoidance distance varies with the obstacle's ability to reflect electromagnetic waves and its surface size. 24G millimeter-wave radar sensing system: Supports downward sensing, and its sensing range varies by the ground material. For example, the sensing range of cement ground is 20 meters, and the sensing range of grass with a thickness of more than 3 cm is less than 10 meters.
  Aircraft Version Limitations*	In order to comply with the regulations of the country or region where the target market is located, aircraft bottom millimeter-wave radars in some markets use the 24G frequency band, and the five directions of front, rear, left, right, and top use the 60G frequency band. Among them, the 24G version of the aircraft has turned off the 60G radar function in the five directions of front, rear, left, right, and top in the flight control software before leaving the factory, and only turned on the bottom 24G radar for assisted landing. The 24G version of the aircraft only supports visual obstacle avoidance under good lighting conditions and does not support the millimeter-wave radar obstacle avoidance function at night.
