Engineered for the mission

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.

Three-angle collection

Nadir, forward, and backward views improve surface coverage and detail around complex geometry.

Compact complete package

The system remains under 2 kg with a 61 MP camera in the referenced configuration.

High pulse flexibility

A selectable 100–1,000 kHz pulse rate helps match density to altitude, speed, and project goals.

Mission-ready integration

UAV, helicopter, and blimp platforms can be matched with the camera, INS, acquisition, and processing workflow.

Interactive mission planning

Estimate point density before takeoff.

Move across the chart to compare estimated points per square meter at representative flight speeds and flying heights. These shared planning curves are preliminary; replace them with model-specific figures when available, and confirm final results against the aircraft, sensor, and operating configuration.
