FAQ
Software and Data Workflow
The mission continues after landing. A professional workflow turns a field operation into information that can be reviewed, delivered, and integrated.
Roof Inspection
Capture thermal and visual data across commercial roofing systems to identify temperature anomalies, moisture-related patterns, heat loss, and visible surface defects without requiring full manual roof access.
Solar Inspection
Inspect large solar installations using combined thermal and RGB imaging to identify abnormal heat patterns, damaged modules, visible defects, and areas requiring closer review.
Utility Inspection
Collect thermal and visual imagery of electrical and utility assets from a safe working distance. The configuration supports anomaly detection, condition documentation, and repeatable inspection workflows.
Building & Construction Inspection
Inspect facades, roofs, structural elements, and active construction areas using thermal and RGB imaging. The system supports building diagnostics, progress documentation, and access to difficult inspection points.

AeroScan L6 LiDAR FAQ
What is the AeroScan L6 designed for?
The AeroScan L6 is designed for professional LiDAR surveying, terrain mapping, forestry, utility corridor mapping, construction, mining and other applications that require accurate three-dimensional geospatial data.
How accurate is the LiDAR system?
The integrated LiDAR payload is designed for approximately ±2.5 cm system accuracy under suitable operating conditions. Final survey accuracy depends on flight altitude, GNSS conditions, calibration, trajectory processing and ground control procedures.
Can it map terrain beneath vegetation?
Yes. The multi-return LiDAR sensor can record multiple reflections from a single laser pulse, helping identify both vegetation and ground surfaces through gaps in the canopy. Actual ground penetration depends on vegetation density and survey conditions.
Does the system support RTK and PPK?
Yes. The AeroScan L6 supports RTK and PPK positioning workflows for accurate aircraft trajectory reconstruction and georeferencing of LiDAR and RGB datasets.
How long can the drone fly with the LiDAR payload?
Typical mapping endurance with the LiDAR payload is approximately 34–38 minutes per flight. Actual endurance varies with payload configuration, wind, temperature, flight speed and battery condition.
Does the system include an RGB camera?
Yes. The mapping payload includes a 24 MP RGB camera that can capture synchronized imagery alongside LiDAR data for colorized point clouds, site documentation and additional photogrammetric processing.
What data can be produced from a LiDAR survey?
Depending on the processing workflow, collected data can be used to generate georeferenced point clouds, digital terrain models, digital surface models, contours, cross-sections, stockpile volumes and other GIS or CAD deliverables.
Is the AeroScan L6 NDAA compliant?
The platform is available in different hardware configurations. NDAA-compliant configuration should be selected when the project or customer requires compliant components and sourcing.
