The RIEGL miniVUX-1UAV is an extremely lightweight airborne laser scanner, designed specifically for integration with UAS/UAV/RPAS.
 
The small and sophisticated design of the stable aluminium housing enables integration with platforms that offer restricted space or payload capabilities. The 360° field of view allows complete acquisition of the environment.
 
An easy to remove SD storage card for data acquisition, and/or the option for streaming the scan data via LAN-TCP/IP interface, in combination with the modest power consumption of the scanner, enables simple integration possibilities with most UAS/UAV/RPAS systems.
