Innovative Partnership Enhances Bathymetric Surveying
YellowScan has joined forces wiht Xer Technologies to incorporate the state-of-the-art YellowScan Navigator bathymetric system into Xer’s drone technology, facilitating extensive underwater surveys and inspections.
Revolutionizing Underwater Mapping
Utilizing yellowscan’s advanced green laser LiDAR technology, this collaboration leverages Xer Technologies’ robust drone platform, which is designed for long-range operations and heavy payloads. This integration offers a groundbreaking solution for mapping underwater topography.
The importance of Bathymetric Studies
Bathymetry,which focuses on the analysis of underwater landscapes,plays a vital role in various sectors,including environmental assessment,coastal management,and infrastructure planning.
Overcoming UAV Limitations
Traditionally, UAV bathymetric LiDAR operations necessitate launching from distant locations such as boats or shorelines, often far from the target area. Standard electric drones usually have restricted flight durations when equipped with sophisticated payloads like the Navigator.
To address these challenges, the Xer X8 drone stands out as a pivotal solution, boasting flight times exceeding two hours. This extended capability ensures dependable, user-kind, and efficient performance in demanding environments, making it particularly suitable for bathymetric LiDAR tasks.
Key Features of the Enhanced System
- Superior Bathymetric Functionality: Delivers high-resolution and precise bathymetric data,even in complex aquatic settings.
- Prolonged Flight Duration: Xer Technologies’ drones can conduct missions lasting over two hours, significantly improving survey efficiency by covering larger areas in a single flight.
- Holistic Data Management: Facilitates seamless data collection, processing, and analysis, equipping users with reliable and actionable insights.
