RIEGL VUX-1UAV

The RIEGL VUX-1UAV is a very lightweight and compact laser scanner, meeting the challenges of emerging survey solutions by UAS/UAV/RPAS both in measurement performance as well as in system integration. 

With regard to the specific constraints and flight characteristics of the UAS, the RIEGL VUX-1UAV is designed to be mounted in any orientation and even under limited weight and space conditions. Modest in power consumption, the instrument requires only a single power supply. The entire data set of an acquisition campaign is stored onto an internal 240 GByte SSD and/or provided as real-time line scan data via the integrated LAN-TCP/IP interface.

Main Features

• 10 mm survey-grade accuracy
• scan speed up to 200 scans / second 
• measurement rate up to 500,000 meas./sec 
  (@ 550 kHz PRR & 330° FOV)
• operating flight altitude more than 1,000 ft 
• field of view up to 330° for practically unrestricted data acquisition 
• regular point pattern, perfectly parallel scan lines
• cutting edge RIEGL technology providing 
  - echo signal digitization 
  - online waveform processing  
  - multiple-time-around processing 
• multiple target capability - practically unlimited number of targets echoes
• compact (227x180x125 mm), lightweight (3.5 kg), and rugged 
• easily mountable to professional UAS / UAV / RPAS 
• mechanical and electrical interface for IMU mounting
• electrical interfaces for GPS data string and Sync Pulse (1PPS)
• LAN-TCP/IP interface
• scan data storage on internal 1TByte SSD Memory
