Phoenix RANGER-U240

Longest-Ranging Sensor for Wide-Area Mapping

A lightweight airborne laser scanner designed for UAS and small manned airplanes or helicopters. Featuring the RIEGL VUX-240 24, it offers a wide 75° field of view and an extremely fast data acquisition rate of up to 2,400 kHz — the longest-ranging sensor in the RANGER series, built to densely map wide areas from high altitudes.

Why It Performs

Wide-Area Mapping from High Altitude

A 75° field of view and 2,400 kHz acquisition rate, with an operating altitude up to 1,430 m / 4,700 ft.

Longest Range in the Series

Operating flight altitude up to 1,430 m / 4,700 ft and a maximum range of 1,200 m at 20% reflectivity — built to cover ground.

Survey-Grade Accuracy

1.5–3 cm RMSEz system accuracy at 120 m, with 1.5 cm intraswath precision. Powered by the RIEGL VUX-240 24.

2,400 kHz Acquisition Rate

Up to 2 million measurements per second across scan speeds from 40 to 600 lines per second.

Multi-Aircraft Mountable

UAVs, helicopters, gyrocopters, fixed-wing, and small manned aircraft — the same sensor adapts to the platform of the mission.

Featuring the Phoenix LiDAR Systems AIR NavBox

The newest-generation, ultra-lightweight rover increases flexibility on two fronts — reducing weight for longer flight times, and supporting higher range with the highest-resolution cameras on the market. Industry-altering capability in a box not much bigger than a standard computer mouse: 58.5 × 123 × 48.1 mm at just 450 g.
