Even though mobile and airborne lidar systems are not currently subject to the same NDAA-related requirements as UAV platforms.
In a recent feature with Lidar News, our President Rob Dannenberg shares his perspective on NDAA compliance, the growing demand for secure geospatial technology, and why Phoenix began transitioning to transparent, U.S.-aligned supply chains years before lidar came under direct regulatory scrutiny.
We believe customers shouldn't have to wait for regulations to catch up before investing in secure, compliant technology.

In 2025, Phoenix LiDAR reached an exciting new milestone, hosting our very first SOAR event.
What started as a vision to bring customers, partners, and industry professionals together became a space to share knowledge, explore new technology, and connect with the people behind the lidar data.
From live demonstrations to hands-on conversations, SOAR marked a new chapter for Phoenix, one focused not just on building LiDAR systems but on building a stronger community for our users.
Itโs a milestone weโre proud of, and just the beginning of whatโs to come with live lidar demo events.
Stay tuned for details coming soon on this year's SOAR event!
In case you missed it, hereโs a recap from the 2026 TopoDOT User Conference.
Big thanks to the Topodot team for hosting another outstanding event and bringing together such a great group from across the geospatial industry. We appreciated the opportunity to connect with users, partners, and friends throughout the week.
Thanks to everyone who stopped by to see the Phoenix LiDAR team and the RFM2 in action! We're already looking forward to the next one.
Miss our RFM2 demos at the conference? You can always reach out to our team to schedule a demo at [email protected].

In 2023, Phoenix LiDAR expanded its mobile mapping capabilities with the launch of the ๐ฅ๐๐ ๐ฎ, our dual-headed mobile mapping system featuring a removable ๐ฅ๐๐ก๐๐๐ฅ-๐๐๐๐ซ payload.
Designed for demanding transportation and infrastructure projects, the ๐ฅ๐๐ ๐ฎ combines dual RIEGL scanners, industry-leading IMU performance, and a flexible modular design to deliver exceptional accuracy, coverage, and efficiency in the field. With collection speeds reaching up to 2.4 million measurements per second, the system was engineered to maximize productivity without compromising data quality.
What makes the ๐ฅ๐๐ ๐ฎ especially unique is its adaptability. The removable ๐ฅ๐๐ก๐๐๐ฅ-๐๐๐๐ซ head quickly transitions between mobile, UAV, and backpack configurations, bringing true multi-platform flexibility to survey-grade mapping workflows.
Head to the comments for a link to the whole ๐ฅ๐๐ก๐๐๐ฅ-๐๐๐๐ซ annimation video!
The launch of the ๐ฅ๐๐ ๐ฎ represented another major step in Phoenix LiDARโs evolution toward scalable, high-performance mapping solutions built for real-world applications.
