Aerodynamically enhanced sensor housing

A system for reducing drag on a sensor housing, the system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory storing computer-executable instructions, wherein the at least one processor is configured to access the at least one memory and execute the computer-executable instructions to:
• determine air flow characteristics of air impinging on an exterior surface of the sensor housing;
• determine that the air flow characteristics fail to satisfy one or more drag reduction criteria;
• generate a drag reduction protocol designed to modify the air flow characteristics and reduce the drag on the sensor housing to satisfy the one or more drag reduction criteria;
• and
• implement the drag reduction protocol.

A sensor assembly apparatus comprising:

• one or more sensors;
• a sensor housing comprising the one or more sensors;
• and
• one or more processors configured to:
• determine one or more air flow characteristics of air impinging on an exterior surface of the sensor housing;
• determine that the air flow characteristics fail to satisfy one or more drag reduction criteria;
• generate a drag reduction protocol designed to modify the one or more air flow characteristics and reduce the drag on the sensor housing to satisfy the one or more drag reduction criteria;
• and
• implement the drag reduction protocol.
