Leica CoastalMapper Airborne Bathymetric LiDAR Sensor
The most efficient airborne sensor for bathymetric data collection
Leica CoastalMapper new generation airborne bathymetric LiDAR sensor provides increased survey performance by 250% for shallow and deep waters compared to previous generations. The system combines a new high-performance bathymetric LiDAR module with a Leica TerrainMapper-3 topographic LiDAR and imaging sensor system into one lightweight sensor head. Simultaneous collection of bathymetric and topographic LiDAR, as well as imaging, enables broad data capture in a single flight, which significantly reduces the survey time, operational costs and environmental impact of each mapping project. The system integrates with Leica Geosystems' established workflows for seamless flight planning and product generation to support a wide variety of applications.
Increased efficiency
Thanks to a wider field of view and the ability to fly at higher altitudes, CoastalMapper increases survey efficiency by 250% compared to previous sensor generations, opening new mapping possibilities.
