Non-Disclosure Agreement: YES

Intellectual Property: YES

This project will create a reliable sensor subsystem to detect the relative position of the corn header above the ground. The sensor to be used and mounting location on the vehicle are predefined. The design of the rest of the subsystem and components are in scope of the project. Success of the project is dependent on demonstrating better ground following capabilities over today's existing system within equal operating parameters.
