The challenge
• New generation of aircraft opening a variety of new, complex surveying situations
• While various types of unmanned aircraft (UAS / RPAS) are ready and about to enter civil airspace, it is time for a survey-grade LiDAR solution
![Page 3: Introducing a New Class of Survey-Grade](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051818/54bb0f574a795932048b46a2/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
• RIEGL has provided the airborne and terrestrial LiDAR markets for almost 20 years with innovative, state of the art laser scanners
• RIEGL provides a complete protfolio of sensors for all airborne surveying missions
• RIEGL is familiar with surveyors‘ expectations concerning data quality
• Now ready to meet with new UAS demands and introducing the world‘s first laser scanner specifically designed for UAS, the RIEGL VUX-1

Set-up ULS LiDAR system• RiACQUIRE-Embedded
– running on RIEGL V-Line Scanner, e.g. VUX-1– stores all raw data on lean data recorder,
e.g., SSD disk– controls image acquisition and time
stamping– prepares monitoring data for data transfer– listens to and executes commands from
ground-based RiACQUIRE
• RiACQUIRE – acts as master– transfers data via low-bandwidth interface,
e.g., radio link– usual interfaces and feedback to operator
on the ground
