Configured around the work

A complete system—not a box of parts.

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

Compact sensor foundation

Built around the miniVUX family to balance performance, payload size, and aircraft flexibility.

Survey-grade integration

Positioning, data logging, mounting, and imaging are configured as a unified system.

Field-proven family

The miniVUX platform has supported LiDARUSA work in demanding terrain, vegetation, wind, and changing weather.

Mission-matched options

A single 61 MP camera delivers high-resolution imagery, while positioning, aircraft, and software choices are configured around the required deliverable.

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.
