Snoopy ACE
Compact hardware. Survey-grade performance.
A rugged, space-efficient mapping system engineered for precise collection from UAV, helicopter, and blimp platforms.

Plan the collection. See the density.
Use the revised interactive planner to compare settings and inspect the flight preview, density map, line chart, and—where this system supports it—the mobile road-sampling diagram.
Find your flight settings.
Density and diagrams are theoretical planning estimates from the supplied file. Real coverage depends on the complete configuration, target reflectivity, terrain, scan geometry, vehicle or aircraft operation, and processing.
Explore an electrical substation point cloud
Orbit a sample from three Snoopy ACE UAV flight lines. Compare the passes or color the points by elevation. The interactive data loads only when you open the viewer.
A sampled demonstration of real collection data; exact survey coordinates and GPS metadata are excluded.
Mission applications
Run the mission from one smart field app.
Prepare storage, plan collection paths, monitor position, and connect with LiDARUSA support without breaking your field workflow.


Command every angle. Capture every detail.
The Snoopy ACE family integrates 1550 nm LiDAR, survey-grade navigation, and high-resolution imaging in a compact, mission-ready system for UAV, helicopter, and blimp operations. Each configuration is engineered around the altitude, point density, coverage, and accuracy your work demands.
Precise perception
High-resolution detection supports accurate 3D mapping and confident object recognition.
Rugged and reliable
Built to perform in demanding conditions with durable housing and tightly integrated components.
