When flight speed is not an issue

Flight operation speed can go from 5 to 35 m/s with a flying height of up to 300m. Depending on the aircraft it’s mounted on; limited flight speed is no longer a constraint to capture data.

Explorer flight speed

Fly high without compromising on data quality

Collecting data from a longer range will allow you to cover more area per flight and enable you to create and maintain digital twins of your assets and project sites.

Explorer fly without compromise

Optimal vegetation penetration

Its detection and processing of up to five target echoes per laser pulse will provide you with optimal vegetation penetration.
