RIEGL’s Latest UAS LiDAR Solutions: Performance-Driven Laser Scanning Innovations
RIEGL manufactures high-performance LiDAR sensors and systems specifically designed for UAS (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) integration and can strategically adapt the product range for integration into compact multi-rotor and high-speed VTOL or fixed-wing UAV platforms.
With its new products, RIEGL aims to significantly reduce both the time in the field and the flight time by increasing UAV flights to maximum operating altitudes and the highest area coverage, thus reducing overall costs. This promises more accurate point cloud data, the flexibility of the platform used in the project, and most importantly, efficiency.
Here are the new solutions and their features;
