HydroRANGER

The Ultimate Shore-Monitoring System

The HydroRANGER is an evolution of mapping technology. This airborne topo-bathymetric (ATB) system provides dual purpose topographic and bathymetric measurements for full scene mapping of shoreline systems. The HydroRANGER uses a green light laser (532 nm) with online waveform processing for topographic, water surface and subsurface target mapping.

Description

The HydroRANGER is an evolution of mapping technology.  This Airborne Topo-Bathymetric (ATB) system provides dual purpose topographic and bathymetric measurements for full scene mapping of shoreline systems. Utilizing a visible green spectrum laser with an elliptical scan pattern and measurement rates up to 200 kHz, the HydroRANGER provides a combination of high spatial resolution and spatial accuracy. Capable of reaching beyond 2 Secchi depths, this is the ideal solution for mapping land-water interface environments along rivers, reservoirs, oceans and more!

Features:

  • Green light laser (532 nm) with online waveform processing  for topographic, water surface and subsurface target mapping.

  • Elliptical scan pattern provides a +/- 20-degree horizontal  FOV for low angle of incident measurements.

  • High quality 24 MP camera enables RGB colourization and orthophotography 

  • Configurable beam divergence and receiver FOV for low AGL missions.

Quick Specs:

  • Water Depth Penetration = 20 mm

  • Intraswath Precision = 4 cm RMSDz @ 100m AGL

  • Weight = 13 kg / 28.7 lbs approx.

  • Dimensions = 432 x 337 x 202 mm

  • Pulse Rate = 200,000 shots/second, up to 15 returns

Applications:

  • Shoreline Digitization

  • Erosion Control

  • River System Mapping

  • Hydrographic Surveying

  • Engineering

  • Hazard Mitigation
