Seamless Integration, Limitless Possibilities
RedTail's integration process delivers world-class turn-key solutions. The RTL-450 pairs a patented LiDAR sensor optimized for small UAS with an integrated Applanix APX-18 GNSS/IMU — evenly distributing points on the ground for unprecedented data density and point-cloud resolution. At just 2.2 kg, it integrates across a wide range of platforms, with all mounting, calibration, testing, and hands-on training handled for you.

A patented sUAS LiDAR sensor, survey-grade positioning, and a lifetime processing license — ready to fly from day one.
RedTail provides mounting, calibration, boresighting, testing, and hands-on training to ensure the RTL-450 works perfectly right out of the box.
A patented LiDAR sensor designed and optimized for sUAS, paired with an integrated Applanix APX-18 GNSS/IMU and standard dual antennas for high GPS accuracy — even when hovering.
The RTL-450 evenly distributes all data points on the ground for unprecedented data density and point-cloud resolution — 1 million points per second with 3 returns per pulse.
Every system includes a lifetime license for the RedTail Point Cloud Generator (RTL-PCG), which outputs a geo-referenced .las file.
