There's an awful lot of complex navigation, signal processing and trigonometry required here, good luck.

What's the fidelity of the sonar in detection of flying mosquitoes?

What do you mean by fidelity? We’re still unsure about the tails in terms of detection probability/false detection rate

I mean the smallest possible detectable object within reasonable distance to make an intercept maneuver.

Say got example that you can only detect an average sized mosquito from a range of 1cm, then you're in random collision only territory.
