Surveyor 32

More coverage from a system built to move.

A UAV-first LiDAR mapping system built around a 32-channel, dual-return laser, tactical-grade positioning, and a single 61 MP camera for high-resolution imagery. The same core system can be upgraded for vehicle or backpack collection.

Explore a colorized subdivision point cloud

Explore a Surveyor 32 mobile-mapping collection of a Georgia subdivision. Start with a quick overview, then zoom into the right-hand neighborhood for progressively finer 360°-imagery colorized detail. The data loads only when you open the viewer.

A cropped web view of the collection. Desktop detail retains every point in this crop; mobile detail retains approximately half. Close-up areas load all their available points as you inspect them. World coordinates, CRS, GPS time, and LAS metadata are excluded.

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.

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.

Configured around the work

The Complete System.

Final specifications and performance depend on the selected sensor, INS, camera, aircraft or vehicle, operating conditions, and project requirements.

Multi-platform by design

Mount to Patriot X4, DJI M400, M3500, IF 800, IF 1200, Astro Max, ALTA X, SL800, Skyfront, and other professional aircraft, then upgrade the core system for vehicle or backpack collection.

Dense dual-return capture

Thirty-two channels and up to 1,280,000 points per second support productive corridor, terrain, and asset mapping.

Integrated positioning and storage

Tactical-grade IMU, high-gain GNSS antennas, a data logger, control box, and 128–256 GB of external storage are configured as one field package.

Mission-ready imaging

A single 61 MP camera delivers high-resolution imagery for detailed point-cloud colorization.

Quick-release installation

A dovetail mount and shock-absorbing dampener plate simplify aircraft integration while isolating the mapping payload.

Complete processing workflow

LiDARUSA software supports acquisition, trajectory processing, georeferencing, data merging, control adjustment, and export to LAS, LAZ, E57, XYZ, and established production platforms.
