RedTail LiDAR Systems – Scanning the way it was meant to be.
HIGH RESOLUTION 3D IMAGING
The RedTail LiDAR Systems RTL-450 is designed to create high-resolution point clouds from unmanned aerial vehicles. The superior resolution provided by the RTL-450 allows customers to perform enhanced data analytics. The integration of advanced Artifi cial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) algorithms for target detection and classifi cation provides next level autonomy at the edge. The RTL-450 transmits all laser pulses to the ground to optimize point cloud density. LiDAR points are evenly spaced to provide 3D images that are unsurpassed in their clarity.
UAV PLATFORMS
The RTL-450 is designed to be efficiently integrated onto UAVs. The RTL-450 can use the existing architecture of an Unmanned Aerial System (UAS), or can be operated independently via a dedicated ground control station.
