Phoenix LiDAR Systems

Phoenix LiDAR Systems makes LiDAR mapping systems. LiDAR uses laser light to measure the ground and objects from above. The company says it designs compact, flexible, survey grade 3D laser mapping systems. The site does not list a head office address. It says its support team is based in the United States.

The site says the systems can be mounted on drones, ground vehicles, backpacks, manned aircraft and boats. The company says it was set up in 2013 as Phoenix Aerial Systems. Its goal was to combine LiDAR scanning and UAV technology. The site says the company built the first UAV LiDAR integration prototype with Velodyne.

The hardware line includes several models. The site lists the miniRANGER-3 Lite, the RANGER-UAV series, the hydroRANGER, the RECON-XT, the SCOUT-M2X and the PIONEER-360. Each system can be fitted with extra parts. These include cameras for high resolution photos, thermal and hyperspectral sensors, GNSS reference stations and a ground control laptop package.

The software range includes SpatialExplorer, FlightPlanner, SpatialPro and LiDARMill. The site also lists TerraSolid. FlightPlanner helps plan flight paths and set up sensors. SpatialPro offers calibration, analysis and reporting tools. The site says the cloud processing tools automate the work from planning to delivery.

The site lists industries that include rail, mobile mapping, helicopter work, oil and gas, surveying and engineering, and utilities. It says the systems can capture land shape, inspect utility lines and building sites, and map disaster areas. The site also lists LiDAR rentals.

Contact details on the site include the phone number 323-577-3366 and the freephone number +1 (855) 691-7952. The site lists a support portal and a sales line. It also says the company is looking for distributors.
