Operating between 24.075 and 24.175 GHz, it returns flow-speed readings ten times a second over RS-232. Mounted on a drone and automated by SkyHub and UgCS, it measures river and channel flow at precise points that are dangerous or impossible to reach with traditional instruments \u2014 no in-water deployment and no fixed infrastructure required.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"gne-vid-title\">Measuring a River\u2019s Flow Speed Using a UAV-Borne Water Surface Velocity Radar<\/h2>\r\n<div style=\"position:relative;width:100%;aspect-ratio:16\/9;overflow:hidden;border-radius:10px;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yY4iI8Wy_ng?modestbranding=1&#038;rel=0&#038;iv_load_policy=3&#038;fs=1\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen title=\"Measuring river flow speed using UAV-borne water surface velocity radar\"><\/iframe><\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"gne-zz\"><div class=\"gne-zz-media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gulfnetemirates.com\/drs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/geolux-rss-2-ab-gallery-02b.jpg\" alt=\"Drone carrying the Geolux RSS-2-AB surface velocity radar over a river\"><\/div><div class=\"gne-zz-text\"><h3>Flow velocity from the air, anywhere<\/h3><p>The biggest advantage of a UAV-borne velocity radar is access: it measures in hard-to-reach places with no existing infrastructure.
