Flexible returns
The Landmark Precision Landing System enables centimeter-level landing accuracy for ArduPilot UAVs.
Features
- Repeatably land within centimeters of a target
- Works in direct sunlight and at night (with target illumination)
- Variety of landing targets free to download
- Simple Setup
- One cable
- No custom software or interface
- All configuration is done through a ground station (QGroundControl, Mission Planner...)
How It Works
The Landmark System implements the MAVLink Landing Target Protocol.
- The onboard camera detects a landing target.
- The internal computer calculates the pose (position and orientation) of the target.
- The target's pose is sent as a MAVLink LANDING_TARGET message to the autopilot.
- The autopilot uses the target pose to perform precision landing.
Uses
- Drone delivery
- Autonomous docking and charging
- GPS-denied landing
- Warehouse inspection
- Automated agriculture

Performance Metrics
| Min Detection Distance | 3 cm |
| Max Detection Distance |
Unlimited It's determined by the target size. For example, a 21 cm x 21 cm target can be detected up to 10 meters away. |
| Max Detection Rate | 32 Hz |
| Range Accuracy |
Depends on target size For example, a 21 cm x 21 cm target allows range (altitude) to be estimated within +/-1%. |
| Landing Accuracy | Typically a few cm, but it depends on the UAV |
| Startup Time | Under 30 seconds |
