The sensor provides up to 1.33 million measurements/sec on the ground, up to 2 MHz PRR, an extremely dense scan pattern, and a wide effective swath width. The VQ-780II-S is designed to work with the latest high-performance INS/GNSS systems, flight management systems, and camera options.

RIEGL RICAST: INCREASING PRODUCTIVITY WITH RIEGL’S VZ-400I ULTIMATE LIDAR SCANNER

Join Claudio Avello, Regional Sales Manager of South America for RIEGL USA, and Ramiro Juan Manuel Cura, Director of Cura & Jordan Engineering in Argentina during this week’s RiCAST. Learn more about Cura & Jordan and how their purchase of the RIEGL VZ-400i modified and improved the survey services and projects they offer to their customers. The two also chat about Cura & Jordan’s approach when offering a LiDAR unit to a customer who is unfamiliar with the technology, along with how they are able compare traditional topography with the RIEGL unit.

SENSING COLLABORATION

When speaking about using RIEGL technology throughout the project, Stuart Drahota of DPR Construction stated, “It’s like they built it future-proof. Just working with them was eye-opening from a technology perspective. We came up with five or six new workflows to utilize the data and do different analysis. They’re really focused on lasers, and they’ve really perfected their craft.”

AS TECHNOLOGY INCREASES, THE NEED FOR SPECIALIZED AIRCRAFT SOLUTIONS FOLLOWS

Textron Aviation featured an article on RIEGL’s decision to invest in a CESSNA Turbo STATIONAIR piston (t206H) in order to assist in increasing testing and calibration capabilities of RIEGL’s airborne laser scanning systems.

COMPREHENSIVE, SCIENTIFIC WORK BY MUNICH UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED SCIENCES BASED ON RIEGL LASER DATA RECORDINGS IN STYRIA

RIEGL made a significant contribution to this work as the high-resolution laser scan data was provided by flying with our DA42 MPP and the VQ-1560i, thanks to the existing RIEGL test site in Styria.
