lidar georeferencing

The Mad Nadir Mapping Lidar System (MNMLS) is the lightest (~730 grams) and most affordable UAV lidar mapping solution currently available on the market. The MNMLS contains a tactical grade inertial measurement unit (IMU) coupled with a multi-frequency GNSS receiver. Combined, these two components make up the highly accurate inertial navigation system (INS). MNMLS uses a multi-return lidar scanner capable of recording single, double, and triple returns. Each MNMLS includes a UAV GNSS antenna and mount and a perpetual license to the Mad Nadir Mapping Lidar Processor (MNMLP) software. The MNMLS is an all-inclusive and turn-key system that is ready to acquire actionable data right out of the box!

MNMLS units are designed and assembled in the USA. Mad Nadir Mapping ships globally, and we are happy to arrange custom shipping solutions and are open to regional wholesaling opportunities.
