What they do

Inside Phoenix LiDAR Systems

Phoenix LiDAR Systems designs UAV and multi-platform LiDAR payloads paired with its SpatialExplorer software and LiDARMill cloud post-processing, producing high-density point clouds for survey and forestry.

It was an early UAV-LiDAR pioneer and has relocated its headquarters to Austin, Texas. Its work includes proven above-ground biomass mapping in the Brazilian Cerrado, which is notable tropical relevance for a cluster otherwise weighted to temperate and boreal use.

Integration is via processing outputs rather than an open public API, so readiness is partial, and recent dated product news is sparse.
