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 aircrafts
• 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
