Why It Performs

Built for the Growing Demands of the Field

From mining to agriculture, construction to forestry — build the system you need to meet your clients' demands.

Survey-Grade Accuracy

Centimeter-level accuracy with 250m+ laser range and outstanding intensity calibration on high-altitude, high-speed missions.

Penetrates Vegetation

Up to five returns cut through canopy and ground cover to produce accurate, usable terrain results.

Newest-Generation MEMS IMUs

High accuracy from the latest MEMS inertial measurement units, with IMU and dual-GPS upgrade paths available.

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.
