Description

The RANGER-ULTRA is an airborne laser scanner with an impressive combination of weight, range, accuracy and pulse rate. It is equipped with a unique forward and rear looking FOV designed to minimize laser shadowing and provide geometry on complex vertical structures on a single pass. With its wide field of view of 100 degrees and an extremely fast pulse repetition rate of up to 1.8 MHz, the RANGER-ULTRA is perfectly suited for high point density corridor mapping applications such as power line, railway track and pipeline inspection.

Features:

Modular and upgradable for maximum project flexibility, supporting single/dual RGB, and multispectral cameras.
Easily mountable to unmanned platforms (UAVs) and to helicopters, gyrocopters, and other small manned aircraft.
Operating flight altitude up to 720 m / 2,350 ft.
Scan speed up to 400 lines/second.
3 faceted mirror (-10, 0, +10°) creates a virtual multilaser for improved mapping of vertical surfaces.

Quick Specs:

Absolute Accuracy = 25-50 mm @ 350 m range.
Weight = 3 kg / 6.5 lbs.
Dimensions = 242 x 117 x 215 mm.

Pulse Rate = 1800 kHz, up to 15 returns.

Laser Range = 760 m @ 20% reflectivity.
