Schiebel CAMCOPTER® S-100 Riegl Hydrographic Airborne Scanner

Schiebel CAMCOPTER® S-100 Riegl Hydrographic Airborne Scanner

Schiebel and Riegl Laser Measurement Systems GmbH are proud to announce the successful integration of the SCHIEBEL CAMCOPTER® S-100 Unmanned Air System (UAS) together with the Riegl VQ®-820-GU Hydrographic Airborne Sensor. This successful integration marked the first time that this new airborne sensor was flown on board of a UAV.

The SCHIEBEL CAMCOPTER® S-100 helicopter UAS carried a special Schiebel-made composite pod containing the sensor, the IMU-GNSS unit, the data recording and transfer unit as well as a digital camera, during the flight tests in Grossmittel, Austria, which were carried out this month. This fully integrated system thus enables acquisition of high-accuracy hydrographic and topographic data, even in critical operational areas.
