RIEGL team high laser pulse repetition rate up to 4 MHz up to 2.66 million measurements per second on the ground offers highly efficient data acquisition at a wide range of point densities two waveform processing LiDAR channels offering excellent multiple target detection capability enables Multiple-Time-Around (MTA) processing of up to 45 pulses simultaneously in the air excellent suppression of atmospheric clutter online waveform processing as well as smart and full waveform recording integrated inertial measurement unit and GNSS receiver integrated, easily accessible medium format camera prepared for integration of a secondary camera high-speed fiber data interface to RIEGL data recorder housing shape and mounting flange optimized for interfacing with typical hatches and stabilized platforms detachable handgrips for facilitated handling ^ The new VQ-1560II-S follows the successful concept of RIEGL’s proven dual channel laser scanner series. With increased laser power the operational altitudes are extended up to 1600m AGL at a pulse repetition rate of 4MHz, or up to 4000m AGL at a pulse repetition rate of 540kHz (all values given for 20% target reflectance). These improved maximum ranges allow an increase of the system’s productivity by about 25% for a very attractive point density range. Laser pulse repetition rates can be fine-tuned in 12kHz steps, enabling subtle optimization of acquisition parameters in order to meet specific project requirements. Its unique "cross-fire" scan pattern and its wide operational range make the instrument the most versatile airborne laser scanner on the market today. It is perfectly suited for any kind of application - from ultra-dense corridor mapping from low altitudes, over high resolution city mapping with minimum shadowing effects in narrow street canyons, to large-scale wide area mapping at utmost efficiency of up to 1130km2 per hour at a density of 4 points per square meter. The system is equipped with a seamlessly integrated high performance IMU/GNSS unit and e.g. an optional 150 megapixel RGB camera integrated in the primary camera bay. Optionally, a second camera, e.g. a thermal camera or a 150 megapixels near-infrared camera, can be integrated on request. The design of the compact housing features a mounting flange for interfacing with typical hatches or gyro-stabilized leveling mounts. Applications: • Ultra Wide Area / High Altitude Mapping • Ultra-High Point Density Mapping • Mapping of Complex Urban Environments • Glacier & Snowfleld Mapping • City Modeling • Mapping of Lakesldes & River Banks • Agriculture & Forestry • Corridor Mapping visit our website www, riegl.com RIEGL LASER MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS Preliminary Data Sheet Airborne Laser Scanning

Productivity of the VQ-1560II-S when using a typical fixed-wing aircraft, e.g. a DA42 MPP. For maximizing the productivity of the VQ-1560II-S at low point densities an aircraft with a high maximum speed, e.g. up to 300 kn, is necessary. Very high point densities can be achieved when using the VQ-1560II-S with a helicopter, e.g. an EC 120. Average Point Density [pts/m2]
