High Performance Topo-Bathymetric Airborne Laser Scanner with Online Waveform Processing and Full Waveform Recording L VQ-860-G EXCELLENT DEPTH PERFORMANCE wide operational envelope: high accuracy ranging based on echo digitization and online waveform processing with multiple-target capability concurrent comprehensive full vaveform storage of all measure-for subsequent waveform """HlRi • high spatial resolution due to measurement rates of up to 100 kHz i and high scanning speed of up to • IMU/GNSS system and digital camera (optionally integrated) oact and robust design ihigh autonomy provided by large : ' internal storage capacity provides operational mode with reduced laser power to adapt to eye-safety requirements in sensitive areas The RIEGL® VQ-860-G airborne laser scanner with increased performance enhances depth penetration in surveying inland waters and near shore waters for even more efficiency in bathymetric applications. The complete system is offered with an optionally integrated and factory-calibrated IMU/GNSS system and a digital camera. The RIEGL VQ-860-G is a compact and versatile system designed for straight forward integration on crewed aircraft. Weighing only 15 kg (33 lbs), integration into drones is also possible. Parametrization of the instrument allows high operational flexibility in order to adapt performance ideally to the survey project, with regards to the carrier aircraft’s altitude and speed as well as the mission objective. The rugged internal mechanical structure together with the dust-tight and splash-proof housing enable long-term operation on airborne platforms. The scanner carries out laser range measurements for high resolution surveying of underwater topography with a narrow, visible green laser beam, emitted from a pulsed laser source. Subject to clarity, at this particular wavelength the laser beam penetrates water enabling measurement of submerged targets on the seafloor and in the water column. Typical applications include • coastline cartography • surveying for hydraulic engineering • hydro-archeological surveying • river mapping visit our website www.riegl.com RIEGL LASER MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS Airborne LiDAR Bathymetry Data Sheet

RIEGL VQ-860-G Measurement Principle and Equipment RIEGLOptional VQ-880-G Housing Measurement Principle The laser beam is deflected in order to generate a nearly elliptic scan pattern and hits the water surface at an incidence angle with low variation. The distance measurement is based on the time-of-flight measurement with very short laser pulses and subsequent echo digitization and online waveform processing. To handle target situations with most complex multiple echo signals, beside the online waveform processing the digitized echo waveforms can be stored internally or on the removable data...
