Product catalog summary
Overview: The ALTM Aquarius is a compact sensor designed for mapping coastal and inland waterways. It is compatible with the ALTM Gemini system and provides simultaneous land and water-depth measurements, offering comprehensive data sets across the land/water interface. It is particularly useful in shallow water environments where conventional topographic sensors are ineffective.
Specifications:
  • Shallow Water Mode: Operational altitude ranges from 300 to 600 meters above ground level (AGL), with a laser pulse repetition rate of 33, 50, or 70 kHz. The scan rate is adjustable from 0 to 70 Hz, and the scan half-angle ranges from 0 to ±25°. The laser footprint on the water surface is between 30 to 60 cm, with a depth range of 0 to over 10 meters.
  • Topographic Mode: Operational altitude ranges from 300 to 2500 meters. It captures up to four range measurements and has a 12-bit dynamic intensity capture range. The position and orientation system includes a POS AV™ 510 with an embedded 72-channel GNSS receiver.
  • Data Storage and Power: Utilizes a ruggedized removable SSD hard disk and requires 28 V power, consuming 900 W and peaking at 35 A.
  • Dimensions and Weight: The control rack measures 590 W x 490 H x 580 D mm and weighs 55 kg. The sensor head has two parts with different dimensions and weighs 30 kg.
  • Environmental Conditions: Operates in temperatures from 0-35°C and relative humidity from 0-95% non-condensing.
Key Features:
  • Simultaneous land and water depth mapping capability.
  • Can be used as an addition to the ALTM Gemini or as a standalone system.
  • Software workflow is similar to the ALTM workflow with Optech LMS.
  • Designed for easy installation in small portal aircraft.
Compliance: Meets US FDA 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11, and IEC/EN 60825-1 standards.

AQUARIUS Summary Specification Sheet The ALTM Aquarius is an innovative compact solution for mapping coastal and inland waterways. Compatible with the ALTM Gemini system, Aquarius collects simultaneous land and water-depth measurements, enabling wholly complete data sets that span the land/water interface. Designed as a complementary sensor to Optech’s fullfeatured lidar bathymetry systems, Aquarius provides depth information in relatively shallow water environments not previously accessible to conventional topographic mapping sensors alone.
