Explorer

Long-Range LiDAR for High-Performance Surveying

Built for Range. Ready for More.

The Explorer is the first compact, versatile and long range platform on the market. It is the culmination of several years of research and development done by YellowScan, while closely working alongside customers and partners from around the world.

High-Performance Lineage

The YellowScan Explorer is the result of years of relentless research and development alongside the world’s leading aerospace and utility giants. Originating from the European-funded FRELON project, the Explorer was developed in direct collaboration with Airbus Defense and Space, Delair, EDF, and SNCF.

The result is an ultra-compact, long-range platform that allows operators to fly higher and faster without compromising data integrity. Capable of mapping vast areas from altitudes up to 300m, the Explorer is the ultimate tool for generating massive digital twins of assets, infrastructure, and complex project sites.
