Price Available Upon Request
The RIEGL miniVUX-3UAV is an extremely lightweight airborne LiDAR sensor designed for UAS/UAV/RPAS integration. It offers selectable 100 kHz, 200 kHz, and 300 kHz laser pulse repetition rates, measurement rates up to 200,000 measurements/sec, scan speeds up to 100 scans/sec, a 360° field of view, and multiple target capability with up to 5 target echoes per laser shot. Weighing 1.55 kg, it also supports RIEGL RiLOC IMU/GNSS system solutions for complete UAV-based LiDAR surveying.
Overview
The RIEGL miniVUX-3UAV is an extremely lightweight airborne laser scanner designed specifically for integration with UAS/UAV/RPAS platforms.
The sensor offers selectable 100 kHz, 200 kHz, and 300 kHz laser pulse repetition rates (PRR). At 300 kHz PRR, it provides up to 100,000 measurements per second at a 120° field of view, producing a dense point pattern for UAV-based applications requiring the acquisition of small objects.
Its compact aluminum housing provides multiple integration options for platforms with limited space or payload capacity, while the 360° field of view enables complete environmental acquisition.
