Radar vs. LiDAR: Why Radar Outshines LiDAR in Drone Detection for 2025

As unauthorized drone activity becomes an increasing concern for correctional facilities, critical infrastructure, and corporate campuses, airspace security professionals are reevaluating the tools used to detect and track unmanned aerial systems (UAS). While LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is ...

Knowledge Base Presented By Embention “Sensorless or Sensored ESC configurations”

Electronic Speed Controllers (ESCs) are electronic circuits that control the speed and direction of an electric motor. ESC integration with motors can be either sensorless or sensored. A sensorless ESC uses the back electromotive force (EMF) of the motor to determine the position and speed of the ...
