The RIEGL VUX-1UAV (former VUX-1) is a very lightweight and compact laser scanner, meeting the challenges of emerging survey solutions by UAS/UAV/RPAS, gyrocopter, and ultra-light aircraft, both in measurement performance as in system integration.
With regard to the specific restrictions and flight characteristics of UAS, the RIEGL VUX-1UAV is designed to be mounted in any orientation and even under limited weight and space conditions.
Modest in power consumption, the instrument requires only a single power supply. The entire data set of an acquisition campaign is stored onto an internal 240 GByte SSD and/or provided as real-time line scan data via the integrated LAN-TCP/IP interface.
Main Features:
10 mm survey-grade accuracy
Scan speed up to 200 scans / second
Measurement rate up to 500,000 meas./sec (@ 550 kHz PRR & 330° FOV)
Operating flight altitude up to more than 1,000 ft
Field of view up to 330° for practically unrestricted data acquisition
Regular point pattern, perfectly parallel scan lines
Cutting edge RIEGL technology providing
Echo signal digitization
