Phoenix Aerial Systems, a manufacturer of unmanned aerial platforms, has developed and demonstrated what it says is the world’s smallest and lightest UAV Lidar platform. Weighing less than 10kg, the new Lidar platform called the Phoenix AL-2 combines the latest UAV, Lidar and GNSS technology into an accurate and safe micro-mapping solution.
The Phoenix AL-2 will be on display at the Velodyne booth at the AUVSI show from 12–15 August at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, Washington DC, USA.
The Phoenix AL-2 is expected to be commercially available by Q4 2013. For more information about Phoenix Aerial Lidar you are invited to visit the company website. Click here for a direct link to the Proof of Concept video.
