Boulder, Colorado – LightWare has revealed the GRF-250, an ultralight laser rangefinder designed for gimbal integration.
Believing that mid-range laser rangefinders can transform intelligence, surveillance, security, search and rescue operations, LightWare’s development team identified a need for better mid-range laser
Law enforcement and public safety agencies use unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for many roles, but search and rescue (SAR), remains one of the original applications. During the early 2000s, first responders saw the potential of UAVs for SAR, despite GPS
Helicopters created the ‘eye in the sky’ idea of security and law enforcement work, but unmanned arial vehicles – or UAVs – can be as effective at a fraction of the cost – if equipped with the correct sensor payload.
UAVs and laser rangefinders in wildlife and conservation The illegal wildlife trade is valued at $20bn annually, driven by powerful market forces and commanding deep financial and technology resources. Evaluate that treat, and it’s clear that traditional wildlife and conservation
Despite strong growth, driven by many new applications and innovations, there remains a gap in the laser rangefinder market. These crucial UAV depth perception and localization sensors are available in many configurations, but ultralight mid-range laser rangefinders remain an underdeveloped
Sensor fusion is the technology symphony orchestrating better spatial awareness and greater navigational accuracy for UAVs. The components of this technology symphony are various sensor modalities: cameras, LiDAR, and GPS, each with unique strengths and inherent weaknesses.
