HOVERMAP ST-X

FAST. ACCURATE. VERSATILE.

IMPROVE THE AREA OF AUTOMATIC LIDAR MAPPING

The Hovermap ST-X utilizes cutting-edge LiDAR technology enabling rapid and comprehensive data collection. This efficiency allows for faster insights through high-density point clouds over expansive areas. Furthermore, the system’s integration of Wildcat SLAM, automated ground control points, and enhanced sensor accuracy ensures sub-centimeter precision in both indoor and close-range scanning, making it ideal for detailed work.

This versatile device is designed for adaptability, functioning seamlessly in diverse environments, even without GPS. It can be mounted on drones for autonomous aerial mapping or used as a handheld, backpack, or vehicle-mounted scanner, facilitating quick as-built and digital twin creation. Built to withstand harsh conditions, the Hovermap ST-X’s robust, lightweight, and weather-sealed design ensures reliable performance in any setting, whether above or below ground, indoors or outdoors.

 

CAPTURE DETAILED, ACCURATE DATA

A LiDAR sensing range of 300 meters and triple returns that captures more than one million points per second allows you to capture detailed, accurate data over a great area in less time – giving you faster time to insight.

SUB-CENTIMETER INDOOR SCANS

The award-winning Wildcat SLAM solution, Automated Ground Control Points (optional), and improved LiDAR sensor accuracy provides a cleaner, more precise point cloud with 4 to 5 mm accuracy allowing you to obtain more accurate measurements and improved insights.

UNIQUELY VERSATILE

The plug and play design and quick-release mechanism allow easy switching between modes. Use Hovermap as a handheld scanner; attached to a drone, vehicle, or pole; lowered in a cage; or mounted to a backpack to easily collect data anywhere. The compact, lightweight design makes it easy to carry and provides longer flight time.

ROBUST, AUTONOMOUS CAPABILITY

Advanced autonomy and 360 degree Collision Avoidance enables flight and mapping in challenging surroundings, including beyond visual line of sight and communication range, even in GPS-denied environments – providing new, valuable insights while the operator remains in a safe location.

OPTIONS FOR EVERY SCANNING NEED
AUTONOMY LEVELS

AUTONOMY LEVEL 0
MAPPING MODE

Mapping Mode offers fast, accurate, and high resolution mobile scanning of environments where drone autonomy is unnecessary. Hovermap ST-X’s quick-release mechanism allows you to easily switch from a drone to handheld scanning or a backpack-, vehicle-, or protective shaft scanning cage-mount for SLAM-based mobile mapping.

AUTONOMY LEVEL 1
PILOT ASSIST MODE

Pilot Assist Mode provides omnidirectional Collision Avoidance, line of sight GPS-denied flight capability, and stability control, providing the confidence and stability for close, thorough inspections. It acts as a safety bubble for your drone, keeping the asset and your equipment safe.

AUTONOMY LEVEL 2
AUTONOMOUS WAYPOINTS

Autonomous Waypoint Mode provides beyond line of sight flight through Smart Waypoints and Guided Exploration. Simply tap on the map to set smart waypoints, and Hovermap ST-X takes care of the rest, navigating to the waypoints, mapping the area, and keeping itself and the drone safe from obstacles.
