It combines a 640 m laser range, a 75° scanner field of view, and up to 7 true echoes per shot for outstanding vegetation penetration, paired with an SBG Quanta Micro GNSS inertial solution that delivers 2.5 cm precision and 2.5 cm accuracy. A lightweight 1,950 g body (batteries excluded), an integrated 3.5\" touchscreen, and an embedded global-shutter RGB camera make it fast to deploy and simple to run in the field across multi-rotor, VTOL, fixed-wing, and single-rotor platforms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003eLong-range UAV LiDAR with a 640 m laser range, 75° field of view, 7 true echoes, and 2.5 cm accuracy.
