$0.00

The GDU PLI01 LiDAR is an ultra-lightweight, high-precision 3D laser scanning system engineered specifically for tactical multi-rotor UAV integration. Seamlessly combining an advanced multi-echo LiDAR sensor, a military-grade IMU/GNSS inertial navigation hub, and high-resolution RGB mapping cameras, the PLI01 reimagines spatial data acquisition. It is built to capture dense, centimeter-accurate 3D point clouds and rich digital twins across the most challenging environments.

With an exceptional data ingestion rate of up to 720,000 points per second and advanced triple-echo technology, the PLI01 effortlessly penetrates dense forest canopies and heavy vegetation, revealing the true ground topography hidden beneath. Operating at a maximum laser scanning range of 450 meters, this powerful payload can map up to 2 square kilometers in a single flight, maximizing operational efficiency while keeping ground crews entirely out of hazardous zones. Paired with an intelligent, one-click automated post-processing software ecosystem, the GDU PLI01 turns raw spatial complexity into actionable, boardroom-ready intelligence instantly.
