Teledyne Galaxy PRIME
Airborne Lidar Terrain Mapper
Maximum Productivity for Wide-Area, Mountain, Urban, and Corridor Survey Applications
The new ALTM Galaxy PRIME is the ultimate wide-area lidar sensor, offering best-of-class collection efficiency, smallest form factor, and highest quality data sets to meet rigorous USGS lidar standards.
With a 6000m AGL collection envelope and 1-MHz “on-ground” collection rate, Galaxy PRIME is the most productive sensor available, ensuring maximum application and platform flexibility with the lowest SWaP.
Whether gyro-stabilized or fixed-mounted, high-altitude or low, one camera or six, full waveform or discrete, Galaxy PRIME excels in all application areas with unmatched configuration flexibility, providing the highest data precision and accuracy available.
