Acecore Integrates Topo-Bathymetric LiDAR Sensor on Noa Hexacopter

Acecore Technologies, a developer of advanced unmanned aerial solutions, has integrated RIEGL’s newest topo-bathymetric LiDAR system, the VUX-820-G, with its Noa hexacopter platform.

The VUX-820-G is a compact and lightweight topo-bathymetric LiDAR sensor featuring an integrated RGB camera and RiLOC-F navigation. The system provides up to 2.2 Secchi depth and delivers high spatial resolution, while maintaining a total weight of just 5.7 kg.

The compact design of the sensor enables up to 56 minutes of flight time when operated under the Acecore Noa. This represents a significant improvement compared to RIEGL’s VQ-line of bathymetric sensors.

Acecore’s Noa hexacopter is a heavy-lift endurance platform engineered for demanding aerial operations. The hexacopter combines proven lifting performance with simplified field operation and is built around a single-piece carbon body. Its redesigned folding frame enables rapid deployment while maintaining structural rigidity in harsh conditions.

The redundant six-motor configuration provides stable thrust and sustained control under variable wind loads, supporting payloads of up to 20 kg and enabling extended missions lasting up to 80 minutes.

The Noa UAV is designed for professional integration, featuring a modular system that allows users to configure payload bays, power outputs, and flight modules for survey, inspection, and mapping applications.

Dedicated payload and power interface panels with LEMO, XT30, PWM, and telemetry connections allow for quick adaptation to sensors and accessories. Acecore’s rugged Noa platform is designed for resilience and adaptability, supporting industrial operations.
