Cepton has unveiled the newest product in its SORA family of scanning LiDAR sensors. Released at AUVSI Xponential 2019, the SORA-P60L is purpose-built to deliver long range, high resolution imaging for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs).  

The SORA-P60L stands out with its 400Hz frame rate, enabling drones to fly faster while maintaining high point cloud density. With a 550 gram payload, the SORA-P60L prolongs UAV flight time allowing more ground to be covered in a single trip.

Cepton’s Micro-Motion Technology (MMT) faces all lasers downward at all times, providing a uniform point cloud that is over four times denser than other solutions. This, in combination with the high scan rate, makes the SORA-P60L the suitable solution for fixed wing and fast-moving rotary wing UAVs.

“Cepton’s SORA-P60L leads the LiDAR industry with its best-in-class point cloud density that provides superior imaging for UAVs. With the affordable price point, long range capabilities and high frame rate of SORA-P60L, UAVs can capture data faster and build more accurate maps,” said Neil Huntingdon, Cepton's VP of Business Development.

“SORA-P60L is our first product from the SORA family that we have unveiled this year. We see a lot of opportunities for this unique sensor in other markets and have a number of products in development that will be revealed later this year.”
