Introducing Seamless Integration: IGI CCNS-5 with RIEGL LiDAR Scanners

Kreuztal, Germany and Horn, Austria – Unlock a new era of precision and efficiency in aerial surveying with the seamless integration of IGI CCNS-5 and RIEGL LiDAR Scanners. This powerful combination brings together two industry-leading technologies to deliver unparalleled performance and versatility in data acquisition.

The IGI CCNS-5, renowned for its advanced Flight Management System (FMS), seamlessly integrates with RIEGL VQ airborne laser scanners, such as the new RIEGL VQ-1460 wide-area mapping system. The CCNS-5, together with its native mission planning solution IGIplan, provide a comprehensive suite of toolsets for optimal flight plan creation and execution of your airborne missions. It maximizes data acquisition efficiency, thus reducing environmental impact and contributes to overall flight safety.

IGI CCNS-5 with RIEGL VQ-1460 in Piper Cheyenne from XEOS Imagerie

Earlier this year, XEOS Imagerie Inc. of Quebec, Canada received delivery of their RIEGL VQ-1460 airborne laser scanning system in combination with an IGI CCNS-5 computer controlled navigation system. The VQ-1460 offers a linear scan pattern for high point density and ultra-wide area mapping, with an extremely high laser pulse repetition frequency of 4.4 MHz and an effective swath width of 60 degrees. The system is capable of long-range detection from as far away as 5400m, resulting in extremely high collection efficiency. At an airspeed of 150 knots and with an average of 8 points per square meter, the VQ-1460 can collect as much as 615 km2/hour. The outstanding productivity in combination with the IGI CCNS flight management system convinced XEOS Imagerie to upgrade to the latest benchmark in LiDAR collection efficiency.

“I am always looking for the best possible solutions for our aerial mapping needs and this combination with the great support provided by IGI and RIEGL has exceeded our expectations”, commented Tony St-Pierre, President of XEOS Imagerie Inc.

Whether it is large-scale topographic mapping, mountain surveying in complex terrain or low-altitude corridor mapping for infrastructure projects, this complementing technology empowers surveyors with the ability to tackle complex projects with confidence and precision.
