RIEGL RiCOPTER

RIEGL is well known in the commercial civil surveying market.

The robust and reliable airborne scanner carrying platform provides full mechanical and electrical integration of sensor system components into aircraft fuselage. The extremely lightweight carbon fibre main frame, foldable propeller carrier arms, and shock-absorbing undercarriage enable stable flight, safe landings and handy transportation. The flight characteristics of the X-8 array octocopter are smooth and stable in hovering positions as well as in demanding flight manoeuvres under challenging conditions.

The RiCOPTER can be equipped with different sensors up to an overall maximum payload of 16 kg (sensors and power supply).

For surveying missions, the RiCOPTER is equipped with the RIEGL VUX-SYS for RiCOPTER, comprising the VUX-1UAV LiDAR sensor, a IMU/GNSS unit, a control unit, and up to two high-resolution cameras.

Furthermore, the remotely piloted aircraft system can carry various types of sensors, e.g. photogrammetric cameras, thermal-infrared cameras, hyper-spectral cameras, magnetometers, radiation sensors, and gas leak detectors and thus been used for multi-purpose applications.

The RIEGL VUX-1UAV is a very lightweight and compact laser scanner, meeting the challenges of emerging survey solutions by UAS/UAV/RPAS, 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.
