TERRAHAWK CW-30
PERFECT FOR MAPPING UTILITY CORRIDORS
The TerraHawk CW-30 is a fixed-wing VTOL UAV LiDAR system that features Phoenix’s most powerful LiDAR system, the RANGER. This next-generation combo builds upon the strengths of the TerraHawk CW-20, enhancing your acquisition range while simultaneously protecting your valuable investment from dangerous belly landings that are still so common in the industry. With 2-hour autonomous flight times, an auto-return system, and a backup auto-landing system, this system is built for some of the most demanding acquisition scenarios on the market.
