Engineers have managed to make a healthy load quite light and remotely controlled. Schiebel Camcopter S-100 unmanned helicopter was equipped with a high-tech laser sensor for scanning. This unusual project has become known to Inside Unmanned Systems. Riegl and Schiebel have been successfully built in the Camcopter S-100 Topo-Batmetric sensor Lidar Riegl VQ-840-G. Such a unmanned complex is designed to scan the area, especially the coastline, which is difficult to look at the boats.

The technology is proposed to be used for mapping, monitoring of the natural environment, reservoirs and hydraulic structures such as channels, dams and bridges. For one mission, the equipment collects data on the situation on the surface and underwater. It was not easy for engineers to implement the project, since it is very important not to overload it when modifying UAVs, otherwise the affordable height, speed, time and other characteristics are reduced.

In addition, the effective execution of the research mission requires complete remote control and feedback devices and feedback with the operator in the real -time data channel. The laser sensor is very compact, and it can be controlled by a remote channel of communication with the help of special software. The operator also controls data collection and safety when using a laser. Upon completion of the shooting, untreated data are easily integrated into the RIEGL data processing process.
