Graphical Data: The document includes graphs illustrating the maximum measurement range and point density under various conditions of target reflectance and visibility, demonstrating the scanner's adaptability to different environmental conditions.
Specifications and Features: The RIEGL VUX-1LR22 is a LiDAR sensor designed for flexible integration into various airborne platforms such as UAS/UAV/RPAS, helicopters, and ultra-light aircraft. It operates at a pulse repetition rate of 1500 kHz and can achieve a point density of approximately 38 points per square meter at a speed of 60 m/s and a range of 106 meters. The sensor supports a field of view (FOV) of 360° and is equipped with a cooling fan for environments lacking natural airflow.
Multiple-Time-Around (MTA) Processing: The VUX-1LR22 employs a sophisticated modulation scheme to handle multiple-time-around data acquisition, allowing it to range beyond the maximum unambiguous measurement range. The RiUNITE software module processes MTA data, automatically assigning range results to the correct zones without user intervention.
Additional Equipment: The sensor includes a cooling fan for forced air convection and a protective cap to prevent mechanical damage during transport and storage. The cooling fan can be mounted on either the top or bottom of the sensor.
Integration Options: RIEGL offers several integration solutions for the VUX-1LR22:
  • RIEGL VUX-SYS: A complete airborne laser scanning system including the VUX-1LR22, an IMU/GNSS unit, and a control unit.
  • RIEGL VP-1: A lightweight pod with integrated VUX-SYS for mounting on helicopters.
  • RiCOPTER: A ready-to-fly remotely piloted aircraft system with integrated VUX-SYS.
Contact Information: RIEGL Laser Measurement Systems GmbH is based in Horn, Austria, with subsidiaries in the USA, Japan, China, Australia, Canada, and the UK. For more information, visit their website at www.riegl.com.

RIEGL VUX-1LR-22-1

Lightweight Airborne Laser Scanner with Online Waveform Processing • 15 mm survey-grade accuracy • scan speed up to 200 scans / second • PRR values freely selectable • measurement rate up to 1,500,000 meas./sec (@ 1500 kHz PRR & 360° FOV) • operating flight altitude more than 3,440 ft • field of view up to 360° for practically unrestricted data acquisition • regular point pattern, perfectly parallel scan lines • cutting edge RIEGL technology providing: - echo signal digitization - online waveform processing - multiple-time-around processing • multiple target capability up to 15 target echoes • compact (227x180x125 mm), lightweight (3.5 kg), and rugged • easily mountable to helicopters, gyrocopters, and other small manned aircrafts • mechanical and electrical interface for IMU mounting • electrical interfaces for GPS data string and Sync Pulse (1PPS) • LAN-TCP/IP interface • internal data storage on Solid State Disc SSD, 1 TByte The RIEGL VUX-1LR22 is a very lightweight and compact laser scanner, meeting the challenges of airborne laser scanning by helicopter, gyrocopter, and other small aircraft both in measurement performance as well as in system integration. With regard to the specific constraints and flight characteristics, the RIEGL VUX-1LR22 is designed to be mounted in any orientation and even under limited weight and space conditions. Modest in power consumption, the instrument requires only a single power supply. The entire data set of an acquisition campaign is stored onto an internal 1 TByte SSD and/or provided as real-time line scan data via the integrated LAN-TCP/IP interface. The RIEGL VUX-1LR22 provides highspeed data acquisition using a narrow infrared laser beam and a fast line scanning mechanism. High-accuracy laser ranging is based on RIEGL´s unique echo digitization and online waveform processing, which enables achieving superior measurement results even under adverse atmospheric conditions, and the evaluation of multiple target echoes. The scanning mechanism is based on an extremely fast rotating mirror, which provides fully linear, unidirectional and parallel scan lines, resulting in excellent regular point pattern. Typical applications include • Corridor Mapping: Power Line, Railway Track and Pipeline Inspection • Topography in Open-Cast Mining • Terrain and Canyon Mapping • Surveying of Urban Environments • Archeology and Cultural Heritage Documentation • Agriculture & Forestry • Resources Management • Rapid Response in Small Scale Surveying (Collision Investigation, Risk Prevention)
