VUX-120²³

"NFB" (Nadir/Forward/Backward) Scanning UAV LiDAR Sensor

The RIEGL VUX-120²³ is a lightweight and versatile airborne laser scanner offering a wide field of view of 100 degrees and an extremely high pulse repetition rate of up to 2.4 MHz. Thus, it is perfectly suited for high point density corridor mapping applications. The measuring beam of the RIEGL VUX-120²³ is consecutively emitted in three different directions: it alternates from strictly nadir, to +10 degrees forward, and to -10 degrees backward.

Description

The scanner provides an internal data storage capacity of 1 TByte and a removeable CFast card and is equipped with interfaces for integration of an external INS/GNSS system. Additionally, interfaces for up to two optional external cameras are available.

The sophisticated design of the RIEGL VUX-120²³ allows smooth integration on UAS/UAV/RPAS, small manned aeroplanes (like gyrocopters), but also on helicopters. It is offered both, as stand-alone UAV LiDAR sensor and also in various fully-integrated UAV-based laser scanning system configurations with appropriate INS/GNSS system and optional cameras. This allows the scanner to perfectly meet all the specific requirements of the customers‘ applications.
