I know absolutely nothing about the UAV, but there are more than a couple of ways the craft could 'read' the distance from itself to the deck/landing pad. Off the shelf sensors might include the autofocus sensors from a camera, back up alarms from a car or some sort of doppler radar. No need to re-invent the wheel.
I suspect the next challenge (crawl, walk, run) will be to get the software to analyse the pitch/roll/yaw of the vessel to predict where it's landing pad will be as it descends for a landing. Lots of coding ahead.
Have fun!
