The National Research Council of Canada’s (NRC) Centre for Drone Innovation (CDI), part of the Drone and Flight Autonomy Laboratory (DFAL), requires one (1) integrated topo bathymetric LiDAR system deployable from NRC’s medium class Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) to support research, development, testing, method validation, and operational deployments. The system must capture above water topography and shallow water bathymetry within a single factory integrated payload and deliver survey grade outputs through a manufacturer supported hydrographic processing workflow. BACKGROUND: LiDAR is used to generate high accuracy topographic data and digital elevation models by measuring precise distances between a sensor and target surfaces. Conventional topographic LiDAR typically operates at near infrared wavelengths that do not penetrate water, so surveys end at the water surface. To characterize shorelines and other shallow water features within a single survey, a topo bathymetric capability is required to detect both the water surface and submerged bottom under suitable conditions. To support dual use applications such as shoreline mapping, shallow water target detection, wildfire resource assessment, infrastructure inspection, emergency response, and evaluation of potential autonomous landing sites, the Remote Sensing Imaging Group (RSIG) within the Drone and Flight Autonomy Laboratory (DFAL…
