YellowScan® Surveyor Ultra 3 & Single Camera Module 61MP Brand Name or Equal Background:
The USGS, Geosciences and Environment Change Science Center (GECSC), National Uncrewed Systems Office (NUSO) supporting multiple USGS Mission Areas and DOI Agencies requests purchase of a UAS lidar scanner YellowScan Surveyor Ultra. The primary use is test and evaluation to support drones for science in emergency response, preservation of life, health, and safety of the American people, and inform the DOI UAS / drone community on the status of the US drone industry and cutting edge lidar technology. USGS NUSO has been procuring and operating UAS lidar sensors since 2016. This procurement is the continuation of NUSO’s efforts to test and evaluate cutting edge UAS technology and provide knowledge transfer to all USGS offices and DOI agencies. This new sensor will support projects such as USGS Minerals Waste As A Resource surveying existing mine waste and stockpiles to understand potential from existing sources for Critical Minerals and Rare Earth Elements, Geologic Hazards supporting landslides and earthquake response, Coastal Hazards hurricane and storm response, and Water Mission Area flooding response.
