High Performance LiDAR


The Navigator was optimized for bathymetric survey applications and features over 45 minutes of autonomy on a single battery. This allows for large area data collection of rivers, oceans, lakes, and more.

44° FOV for Faster Data Collection
Featuring a 44-degree field of view, the Navigator provides better precision over a broader angle allowing operators to collect more diverse datasets. This 44 degrees is the maximum angle that a green laser can effectively perform underwater; any angle beyond this has its penetration depth significantly affected, causing reduce data quality.
Embedded Camera for Colorization (Global Shutter)
Reduces the need for external camera modules for colorization purposes.
Land & Water Survey
The YellowScan Navigator was purpose built for bathymetric surveys in shallow waters deployed from an unmanned aerial vehicle. The LiDAR sensor will scan top of water, under water, and traditional terrain on shore.
Diverse Water Environments
The Navigator was designed for drones, whether multiorotor or helicopter, and is designed for used on shorelines, lakes, rivers, ponds, estuaries, gravel pits, and more. It is applicable for any application that required high-precision measurements under shallow water.
Underwater Point Correction
YellowScan's proprietary processing software, CloudStation, comes with built-in underwater point correction that will refine submerged data. It takes into account water refraction and increases the accuracy of your underwater data points.
Automated Water Classification
YellowScan's CloudStation software will increase the capabilities of the bathymetric systems by including automatic water classification in post-processing. With the click of a button operators will be able to classify water bodies and export deliverables.

Automated Water Surface Detection

YellowScan Cloudstation has automated water surface detection built-in to identify water boundaries, improved data analysis, and streamlined bathymetric mapping.

Multi-Platform Compatible


The Navigator is platform agnostic and self-sustaining meaning that it can be mounted on a wide variety of platforms whether multicopter or helicopter. It comes standard with a "quick release" GREMSY attachment for plug and play integration, but can also be integrated on any third-party drone that carries the weight of the Navigator.
