RIEGL’s VQ-1060, a cutting-edge integrated aerial mapping solution designed specifically for powerline and corridor applications, seamlessly integrates multi-directional 3D laser scanning, forward and aft oblique RGB imagery, and nadir multispectral imaging into a single, streamlined platform.
Whether you’re conducting utility asset inspections, vegetation encroachment analysis, or corridor planning, the VQ-1060 provides ultra-high-resolution data with unmatched efficiency – all from a single instrument.

• Delivers ~70 points/m² from 1500 ft AGL
• LiDAR swath width of ~1900 ft x 1250 ft (i.e. 60 deg HFOV; 40 deg VFOV)
• Captures ortho imagery at ~3.5cm GSD (average) (iXM-RS150 50mm)
• Captures oblique imagery at ~2.3 cm GSD (image center) (iXM-GS120 150mm)

Mobile Laser Scanning: the RIEGL VMX-3HA Mobile Mapping System
RIEGL’s new VMX-3HA Mobile Mapping System sets a new standard for high-speed, high-accuracy mobile LiDAR. Powered by two RIEGL VUX-3HA laser scanners, it captures the full 360° environment with scanning speeds up to 6 MHz PRR and 800 lines per second – delivering dense, detailed data without slowing down.

• 360° Precision in Motion Whether you’re mapping city streets or highways, the VMX-3HA delivers full-environment coverage with pinpoint accuracy – even at high speeds.
• Ultra-Dense Data, Near and Far From fine pavement textures to overhead cables and distant vegetation, every detail is captured with clarity and depth.
• Effortless Efficiency Maintain high point densities at faster platform speeds. The VMX-3HA keeps quality high and workflows smooth, even under demanding conditions.
Built for professionals in transportation, infrastructure, and environmental mapping, the VMX-3HA Mobile Mapping System combines speed, precision, and efficiency in one powerful system – ready to take on complex projects with confidence.

Terrestrial Laser Scanning: the RIEGL VZ-1200i
RIEGL presents a new, powerful member of its well-proven product line of professional terrestrial laser scanners, the RIEGL VZ-1200i. The system was developed specifically for users who need a longer range without sacrificing the speed, precision, and reliability of the RIEGL VZ-i series. The extremely fast and 6 kg lightweight laser scanner expands the portfolio with greater range and mobility, offering maximum versatility, productivity, and performance for demanding applications. It complements existing solutions rather than replacing them, giving professionals additional flexibility in their daily work.

The RIEGL VZ-1200i is a Class 1 eye-safe laser scanner that combines exceptional range with very high scanning speed. A high-resolution panoramic scan is performed in just 25 seconds in the 2.2 MHz measurement program, reaching distances of up to 450 m. In the 300 kHz measurement program, ranges of up to 1800 m are possible.The ability to perform kinematic data capture further increases its versatility: Like the other VZ-i Series Laser Scanners, you can use the VZ-1200i either in static mode – with tripod offset
approximately every 60 seconds (6 mm resolution at 10 m, including simultaneous photo capture)–or in kinematic mode on mobile platforms with RTK-GNSS accuracy.

Airborne Lidar Bathymetry: the RIEGL VUX-820-G
With the RIEGL VUX-820-G, RIEGL offers a new compact, fully integrated complete solution for surveying underwater structures and topography.
RIEGL’s “All-in” Package includes:
• the compact and powerful LiDAR sensor providing up to 2.2 Secchi depth
• the RIEGL RiLOC-F-inside inertial navigation system
• an integrated RGB camera to complement the LiDAR data with imagery
• RIEGL’s proprietary software licenses for generating georeferenced and refraction-corrected point clouds
The compact design and the light weight of just 5.7 kg / 12.5 lbs make the RIEGL VUX-820-G especially well-suited for use on UAVs. Extra features like a display and status LEDs enhance interactive handling and operation.

UAV-BASED Laser Scanning: the RIEGL RiLOC-F-inside
Last year, RIEGL presented its IMU/GNSS solutions RiLOC-E-25 and RiLOC-F at Intergeo, enabling it to offer high-performance LiDAR sensors and matching IMU/GNSS solutions from a single source.
RIEGL now provides a new high-precision, fully integrated subsystem for localization and orientation (Localization/Orientation/Component), the RiLOC-F-inside IMU/GNSS solution for VUX-series laser scanners, that is fully integrated in the VUX-100-25, VUX-120-23, VUX-160-23 and VUX-180-24 UAV LiDAR sensors. It includes a high precision Micro Electro Mechanical System (MEMS) Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), a GNSS unit, and corresponding software.

Redefining size, weight, and performance standards:
• High-precision positioning: 0.02 – 0.03 m (post-processed)
• No increase in system dimensions
• Minimal additional weight
• Tightly coupled IMU, GNSS, and LiDAR data
• Fully integrated into the RIEGL post-processing workflow. An all-in-one fully integrated system for small-scale LiDAR surveys with multirotor, fixed-wing, or VTOL drones.
