RIEGL’s UAS / ULS Market Presence Grows in North America Through GeoCue Group OEM Partnership

Expanding their UAS / ULS presence in North America through this strategic OEM partnership, RIEGL is excited to welcome GeoCue Group to the growing base of renowned RIEGL integrators.

Operating out of their United States headquarters in Huntsville, Alabama, GeoCue Group will further promote RIEGL unmanned LiDAR innovations through the introduction of their True View® 615 and 620 LiDAR/imagery fusion systems, integrated with the newly introduced RIEGL miniVUX-2UAV miniaturized unmanned LiDAR scanner, an upgrade from the previously planned TrueView 610 with the miniVUX-1UAV with 100kHz pulse repetition rate (PRR) to 200 kHz.

This solution offers surveyors an innovative LiDAR and dual oblique mapping camera configuration integrated in a single lightweight payload for use on commercial drone platforms. True View allows for fast, easy automated generation of true 3D colorized point clouds, oblique imagery and orthophotos from a single flight.

RIEGL is the premier manufacturer of high quality mapping LIDAR systems,” said Lewis Graham, President of GeoCue Group. “We have had a lot of experience over many years working with customers of RIEGL’s mobile and airborne laser scanning systems; these products are simply the best on the market for high accuracy/precision. I am extremely pleased to have GeoCue welcomed into the RIEGL OEM family.”

Providing world class LiDAR mapping solutions, GeoCue Group aims to help their clientele work more accurately and efficiently. Offering a complete tool kit of fast, accurate, and affordable products and services, GeoCue Group works with the geospatial industry’s leading companies to deploy and build scalable workflow solutions on a solid foundation of best practices.

“Over the years, Lewis Graham has established himself as a long-time reputable geospatial professional. GeoCue Group entering into the sUAS LiDAR system integration business is a natural progression, especially as the commercial UAS industry continues to mature and demand high accuracy LiDAR solutions. I’m looking forward to what the future holds.”, states My-Linh Truong, ULS / UAS Segment Manager at RIEGL USA.

RIEGL is extremely excited to announce our partnership with GeoCue, along with their recent purchase of multiple miniVUX-2UAV scanners, and we look forward to a rewarding and successful relationship!
