About
About LiDARUSA
LiDARUSA builds integrated laser-scanning and imaging systems for airborne and ground mapping. Surveyor and Revolution payloads combine lidar, inertial navigation, GNSS, onboard computing and optional RGB or multispectral cameras for drones, while Snoopy and Highway Mapper packages collect data from road vehicles.
Several systems can move between UAV and mobile-mapping mounts, allowing survey teams to reuse one sensor package across corridors, sites and highways. Applications include power-line and pipeline mapping, telecommunications, roads, cities, archaeology and topographic survey. LiDARUSA configures scanners, cameras and navigation units around the platform and provides software for georeferencing, control adjustment and colourised point-cloud production.

Timeline
Events
- 2021-09-09 - Partnership - Hesai appoints LiDARUSA as North American distributor
The agreement covers Hesai sensor distribution throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico. LiDARUSA added compact XT sensors and Pandar models spanning short-range and long-range applications. The portfolio extends LiDARUSA offerings beyond precision mapping sensors into broader three-dimensional sensing markets.
Source - 2020-03-03 - Partnership - LiDARUSA integrates Teledyne Optech CL-360
The CL-360 supports UAV and mobile mapping through faster scanning and improved vegetation penetration. The integrated system delivers usable data sixty degrees off nadir across swaths wider than 1,100 feet. The integration made the sensor commercially available through Teledyne Optech's second LiDARUSA partnership.
Source - 2019-10-23 - Partnership - LiDARUSA adds Innoflight Galaxy 950 mapping aircraft
The Galaxy 950 carries any LiDARUSA sensor while providing flight times beyond thirty minutes. Its automation includes parachute support, automatic takeoff and landing, and extended-visual-line-of-sight capabilities. The aircraft creates a turnkey option for corridor, utility and other remote-sensing projects.
Source - 2019-07-09 - Partnership - LiDARUSA integrates scanners with Harris hybrid multicopters
The gas-electric aircraft can power heavy-lift multicopter missions for as long as five hours. A Carrier H6 can carry a three-kilogram A-series scanner for about two and a half hours. Longer endurance lets operators cover large rural survey areas with fewer individual flights.
Source - 2019-02-12 - Partnership - LiDARUSA joins SimActive medium-format reseller network
LiDARUSA offered Correlator3D as complementary processing software for Phase One metric-camera configurations. The combined workflow supports rapid processing of directly georeferenced medium-format aerial imagery. The alliance expanded SimActive sales coverage through LiDARUSA surveying and mapping expertise.
