Phoenix RANGER-U120

Forward, NADIR, and Rear-Looking FOV for Efficiency

An airborne laser scanner delivering a rare combination of lightweight design, range, accuracy, and pulse rate — featuring the Riegl VUX-12023 with a three-faceted forward, NADIR, and rear-looking mirror engineered to minimize laser shadowing and capture detailed geometry on complex vertical structures in a single pass.

Why It Performs

Built for High-Density Corridor Mapping

A 100° field of view and pulse rates up to 2,400 kHz, purpose-built for power line, railway track, and pipeline inspection.

Three-Faceted Mirror

A virtual multi-laser configuration via the −10° / 0° / +10° mirror improves mapping of vertical surfaces in a single pass.

Survey-Grade Accuracy

1.5–3 cm RMSEz system accuracy and 2 cm RMSDz intraswath precision at 120 m, per Phoenix's February 2026 spec sheet.

2,400 kHz Pulse Rate

An extremely fast pulse repetition rate from the Riegl VUX-12023 captures high point density across long corridors.

Modular Camera Options

RGB camera options ranging from 24 MP to 120 MP for maximum project flexibility, plus UAV and manned aircraft attachment options.

Featuring the Phoenix LiDAR Systems AIR NavBox

Phoenix's ultra-lightweight navigation unit is counted in the RANGER-U120's 3 kg system weight: a box not much bigger than a standard computer mouse, at just 450 g.
