• 
  
• Minimum of 1 laser scanning head with a 360 degree scanning capability
  
• Scan range of at least 420 meter with an achieved accuracy 5mm
  
• Adaptable GiGE camera interface to support a variety of cameras
  
• 1MHz or better maximum effective measurement rate (250 scan lines/sec min)
  
• Support onboard IMU characteristics of roll/pitch accuracy of 0.005deg and heading accuracy of at least0.015deg
  
• Include acquisition interface hardware for realtime diagnostics of data
  
• Software for post processing, registration and analysis
  
• Class 1 laser characteristics for safety
  
• System must be compact and total sensor head dimensions should be less than 500 x 400 x 520mm for low profile use.
  
• Online waveform processing for realtime waveform data
