RIEGL has recently added the VUX-18024, a lightweight and versatile UAV-Lidar sensor for high-speed surveying missions, to its portfolio. This once again underlines the Austrian company’s pioneering role as a provider of high-performance Lidar sensors and systems for integration with unmanned aerial systems (UASs).
The new RIEGL VUX-18024 offers a wide field of view of 75 degrees and an extremely high pulse repetition rate of up to 2.4MHz. These features, in combination with an increased scan speed of up to 800 lines per second, make it perfectly suited for high-speed surveying missions and applications where an optimal line and point distribution is required. Typical applications include mapping and monitoring of critical infrastructure like power lines, railway tracks, pipelines and runways. The RIEGL VUX-18024 provides mechanical and electrical interfaces for IMU/GNSS integration and up to five external cameras, mirroring the form factor of the VUX-16023. For smooth and straight forward data storage, an internal SSD memory with 2TB storage capacity and a removable CFast memory card are available.
