miniRANGER-UAV
The miniRanger is the miniaturized
version of our fullsized ultra-high
accuracy mapping solution.
This extremely compact, aluminum
encased system with a 360° field of
view and modest operating power
requirements will deliver up to five
echoes, making it an ideal option for
demanding UAS/UAVs applications.
Operable at subzero temperatures
down to -10° C makes this system
exceptionally well suited for measuring
snowy and icy terrain.
FEATURES
»» Survey-grade (cm-level) accuracy with
250m+ laser range and outstanding
intensity calibration
»» IMU and dual-GPS upgrade options for
increased accuracy
»» Fully autonomous, can be mounted on
any drone
»»
Modular upgrade options: Dual LiDAR
Sensors, DSLR, GeniCam, GigEVision,
thermal, multispectral, hyperspectral
and custom sensors
»» Designed by surveyors for surveyors
