The instrument makes use of pulsed time-of-flight measurement principle and fast scanning the laser beam by means of opto-mechanical scan mechanism, which provides unidirectional and parallel scan lines.
The instrument is extremely rugged, therefore ideally suited for the installation in aircrafts, on the other hand compact and lightweight enough to be installed in small single-engined planes, helicopters or ultra-light planes.
The instrument needs only a single supply voltage and provides the scan data via high-speed parallel ECP interface or integrated TCP/IP data interface.
Together with the range- and scan angle data, the data stream contains information about the target reflectivity (active IR-intensity) and optionally true-color information (passive RGB) of the scanned ground terrain.
