The RIEGL BathyCopter is the world's first Small-UAV-based surveying system capable of measuring through the water surface, ideally suited for generating profiles of waterbodies.
The robust and reliable platform design of RIEGL's remotely piloted RiCOPTER integrates the topo-bathymetric RIEGL LiDAR sensor, an IMU/GNSS unit with antenna, a control unit, and a digital camera.
The BathyCopter marks the first complete Small-UAV LiDAR solution for hydrograohic data acquisition.
