Phoenix HydroRANGER

Redefining Shoreline Mapping

An Airborne Topo-Bathymetric (ATB) system delivering dual topographic and bathymetric measurements for full-scene mapping of shoreline systems — a visible green-spectrum laser with an elliptical scan pattern, reaching beyond 2 Secchi depths along rivers, reservoirs, and oceans.

Why It Performs

Built for the Land-Water Interface

High spatial resolution and accuracy where topography meets bathymetry — rivers, reservoirs, oceans, and more.

Dual Topo-Bathymetric

One Airborne Topo-Bathymetric system captures both topographic and bathymetric measurements for full-scene shoreline mapping.

Green-Spectrum Laser

A visible green-spectrum laser with an elliptical scan pattern reaches beyond 2 Secchi depths into the water column.

High Resolution & Accuracy

Measurement rates up to 200 kHz combine high spatial resolution with spatial accuracy across complex water environments.

Live / Remote Data Feed

View and analyze data in real time, or transmit live data to remote viewers over a 4G connection.

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.
