Abstract (English)	Empa and FireDrone AG will prototype a 360° mmWave-radar suite for UAV odometry and collision avoidance in smoke, dust and GPS-denied environments, where cameras and LiDAR fail. The study benchmarks 4 FMCW sensors against motion-capture ground truth and assesses operation behind aerogel shielding.
