NDAA-Compliant LiDAR for Survey-Grade Confidence

Ready to fly with confidence?

In demanding survey environments, uncertainty is costly. Survey missions are often constrained by tight timelines, limited access, regulated platforms, and strict data security requirements.

Surveyors, including government contractors, need easy-to-deploy equipment with multi-UAV compatibility and full control over locally processed data to deliver survey-grade results with confidence.

Features

Key value propositions

Fully NDAA Compliant

Designed and manufactured in France, the YellowScan Venturer is fully NDAA compliant and processes data locally through CloudStation, giving operators complete control over their sensitive data while meeting strict security and compliance requirements.

Venturer key values ndaa compliant

UAV Compatibility

Weighing 2.45 kg, the Venturer uses YellowScan’s Quick Release Adapters for fast, tool-free integration across a wide range of UAVs. This ensures reliable power and data while reducing integration costs, avoiding platform lock-in, and maximizing long-term ROI.

LiDAR Integrations

Survey-Grade Performance

Powered by the RIEGL Mini-VUX 3 UAV scanner and Trimble Applanix APX-RTX IMU, the Venturer delivers reliable positioning in poor GNSS conditions. Real-Time RTX corrections increase confidence in flight and reduce repeat missions. Advanced post-processing with POSPac Complete further improves robustness and accuracy.

Venturer key values survey grade performance

Instant Readiness: Fly with confidence

As soon as the Venturer is powered on, system readiness is instantly visible on the high-brightness Yellow Touch display, readable from wide angles. Clear, intuitive information replaces confusing LED signals, enabling confident go/no-go decisions in seconds in the field.

Venturer key values instant readiness

Clean Data, Less Post-Processing

The Venturer is optimized for typical survey flight patterns, while still preserving full 360° scanning when needed. This makes it highly effective for capturing vertical structures such as façades, walls, and complex infrastructure, delivering clean, usable data without trade-offs between coverage, quality, and efficiency.

Venturer key values clean data

Dual Global Shutter Cameras: No Motion Blur

The Venturer integrates two global shutter cameras with a 125° field of view, closely aligned with typical survey operations. Unlike rolling shutter sensors, global shutter technology eliminates motion blur, ensuring sharp, reliable imagery regardless of flight speed or platform dynamics.
