Efficient Workflow


Near real-time data processing enables coverage analysis immediately after landing, allowing operators to QC the data quickly before demobilising the system. The Leica LiDAR Survey Studio (LSS) processing suite provides full waveform analysis and offers automatic calibration, refraction correction and data classification.

Evolving Applications


Combining superior resolution, depth penetration and topographic sensitivity, Chiroptera-5 provides best-in class productivity for various environmental applications such as shoreline erosion monitoring, flood simulation, prevention and benthic habitat classification, habitat mapping and archeological discovery.

Increased Productivity


Chiroptera-5 superior sensor performance allows customer to collect more data during every survey flight and to capture larger areas of submerged terrain and objects with greater detail. The sensor is designed to fit a stabilising mount, enabling more efficient area coverage with decreased operational costs.

Operational Flexibility


Bundled with FAA/EASA certified helicopter pod, Chiroptera-5 enables advanced terrain-following flying paths for efficient river mapping and complex coastal surveys​. Owners of previous generation system are offered an easy upgrade to add capabilities to their existing sensor.
