Discover our CloudStation software

In 2017, YellowScan took part in a research project called FRELON (“French long range lidar”), funded by the European Regional Development Fund. The goal was to develop a new standard for long-range LiDAR by bringing together innovative specialists.

YellowScan collaborated directly with Airbus Defense and Space, UAV manufacturer Delair, M3 Systems and utility end-users EDF, RTE, Enedis and SNCF to develop the next generation solution to meet their requirements.

A one-of-a-kind laser scanner

We developed a unique laser scanner that met specific requirements and that could not be found in any other systems. You can select the right scanner parameter for each of your missions with the possibility to switch the laser PRF.

When flight speed is not an issue

Flight operation speed can go from 5 to 35 m/s with a flying height of up to 300m. Depending on the aircraft it’s mounted on; limited flight speed is no longer a constraint to capture data.

Fly high without compromising on data quality

Collecting data from a longer range will allow you to cover more area per flight and enable you to create and maintain digital twins of your assets and project sites.

Optimal vegetation penetration

Its detection and processing of up to five target echoes per laser pulse will provide you with optimal vegetation penetration.
