Phoenix RANGER-U160

Even More Powerful Forward, NADIR, and Rear FOV Laser

Enhanced range and density on top of an already unrivaled mapping system. The Riegl VUX-16023 delivers a unique forward-, NADIR-, and rear-looking 100° field of view that minimizes laser shadowing on complex vertical surfaces — at pulse rates up to 2,400 kHz.

Why It Performs

More Range, More Density, Same Footprint

Mapping at multiple scales with the flexibility to be carried by a variety of aircraft — especially ideal for utility, rail, and pipeline corridor mapping.

3-Facet Polygon Mirror

−10° back / 0° nadir / +10° forward delivers improved detail on vertical structures and surfaces in a single pass.

Exceptional Data Density

Measurement rates up to 2,000,000 per second across a 100° lateral FOV for true single-pass corridor coverage.

Survey-Grade Accuracy

1.5–3 cm RMSEz system accuracy at 120 m, with 2 cm intraswath precision — ready for engineering deliverables.

Multi-Aircraft Mountable

Easily mountable to unmanned platforms, helicopters, gyrocopters, and other small piloted aircraft.
