Strategic Alliance for Underwater Terrain Mapping
Xer Technologies has joined forces with YellowScan to enhance long-range bathymetric surveys by integrating the YellowScan Navigator bathymetric system into Xer Technologies’ drone fleet.
The Importance of Bathymetric Studies
Bathymetry, which involves analyzing underwater landscapes, plays a vital role in sectors such as environmental assessment, coastal management, and infrastructure planning.
Innovative Technology Integration
With the incorporation of YellowScan’s state-of-the-art green laser LiDAR technology into Xer Technologies’ robust drone platform, this partnership offers a groundbreaking solution for mapping underwater topography.
Overcoming operational Challenges
Bathymetric LiDAR operations often necessitate launching from distant locations, such as boats or shorelines, which can be far removed from the target area.Conventional electric drones frequently face limitations in flight duration when equipped with advanced payloads like the Navigator.
to address these challenges, the Xer X8 drone stands out as a pivotal solution, boasting a flight time exceeding two hours. This extended capability ensures dependable, user-amiable, and efficient performance in demanding environments, making it especially suitable for bathymetric LiDAR applications.
