RIEGL VQ-880-GH

The RIEGL VQ-880-GH is a fully integrated airborne laser scanning system for combined topographic and bathymetric surveying.

The system is offered with integrated and factory-calibrated high-end IMU/GNSS system and up to two cameras. The design allows flexible application of these components to meet specific requirements. Complemented by a RIEGL data recorder, the RIEGL VQ-880-GH LiDAR system is ready for straightforward installation on various platforms. Its compact form factor makes it specifically suitable for helicopter integration or use in small aircraft with limited space for sensor integration.

The VQ-880-GH carries out laser range measurements for high resolution surveying of underwater topography with a narrow, visible green laser beam, emitted from a powerful pulsed laser source. Subject to clarity, at this particular wavelength the laser beam penetrates water enabling measurement of submerged targets.
