Entry Description

The Leica BLK2FLY is the world’s first fully integrated LiDAR Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). It’s an autonomous flying laser scanner featuring advanced obstacle avoidance for easy UAV scanning. It is designed for anyone to easily and quickly capture the exterior features and dimensions of buildings, structures, and other environments that would otherwise be inaccessible or require a traditional drone or UAV with a LiDAR or photogrammetry payload. To operate it, a user makes a few simple taps on a tablet and the BLK2FLY captures an object’s complete dimensions autonomously from the air.
