smartmicro's product portfolio offers a consistent software toolchain and data output format. Multiple DRVEGRD® sensors can be configured to enable 360° of coverage around the vehicle, eliminating the need for implementing additional solutions.
THE DRVEGRD® LINE
DRVEGRD® 171 & DRVEGRD® 152
4D/PXHD & 4D/UHD FRONT RADARS
smartmicro offers two front radars to better address the various needs of different automotive applications. DRVEGRD® 171 is a 4D/PxHD radar with enhanced precision and performance. It features three different range modes: the shortest covering very close distances of 0.2 to 40m; the longest being able to cover an extensive range of up to 240m. DRVEGRD® 152 offers a 100° field of view in azimuth featuring a 2° UHD angular separation, extending up to 180 meters in range. The sensor presents a choice between two operation modes, allowing users to strike a balance between extending the range and achieving finer range resolution based on their specific needs.
DRVEGRD® 169
4D/UHD CORNER RADAR
Featuring wide azimuth field of view of 140° and operation scan modes, the DRVEGRD® 169 accommodates a wide operational spectrum — from slow-moving autonomous robots to conventional vehicles. When synchronized with multiple DRVEGRD® 169 units or combined with front radar, this system enables comprehensive 360° coverage for any vehicle.
