UltraCam Dragon 4.2
Unleash the depths of reality
Hybrid aerial mapping system.
Features
Nadir scan view.
The LiDAR scanner’s unique scan line pattern features five scan lines, including a true nadir scan line that captures 3D points even within narrow urban canyons or densely built-up areas. By design, the linear scan pattern ensures uniform ground coverage, resulting in consistent and balanced point distribution along the flight path.

More Information
35% more flight line efficiency for faster data collection.
Building on the success of its predecessor, the UltraCam Dragon 4.2 features a significantly larger footprint. It captures both nadir and oblique images, each with over 19,000 pixels across the flight strip, while efficiently collecting data at a rate of one frame every 0.7 seconds.
Next-generation sensor technology.
The UltraCam Dragon integrates custom-designed lenses with advanced Sony IMX811 CMOS sensors, producing consistently sharp, high-fidelity imagery with exceptional geometric and radiometric accuracy.
Powerful 2.4 MHz RIEGL Waveform LiDAR scanner.
The LiDAR's fast pulse repetition frequency offers flexibility and enables faster data acquisition of a specified point density per square meter. Alternatively, when flying at lower speeds, customers can attain an even higher number of points per square meter.
Efficient flight patterns.
An optimal ratio of nadir to oblique cones, along with intelligent alignment of the oblique cones, results in optimized resolution and better coverage across track. When paired with the regular scan grid of the LiDAR scanner, the flight pattern is optimally aligned.
Two focal length options.
The UltraCam Dragon offers versatility with a choice of two focal lengths (f50 and f80), allowing optimal flying heights while staying compliant with local regulations and operational conditions.
Part of the family.
As part of the Vexcel ecosystem, the UltraCam Dragon offers seamless cross-product compatibility and is backed by world-class support.
Efficient Data Processing.
Leverage the complete range of the UltraMap photogrammetric software Suite, now with enhanced DSM/DTM generation and 3D mesh creation powered by LiDAR-assisted classification. Complemented by RIEGL’s RiProcess for optimal LiDAR post-processing.
"The Dragon 4.2 captures nadir, oblique, and LiDAR data in a single flight, enabling efficient use in our compact turbine aircraft. We support customers worldwide with aerial data acquisition, and the Dragon is a powerful addition to our fleet, expanding our capabilities and enabling new applications - all while delivering the highest data quality."
