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.

Another successful lidar training completed, this time featuring the miniRANGER-3 Lite and 360ยฐ LadyBug camera in a mobile mapping configuration.

Thank you to the team at USF Institute for Digital Exploration for hosting us for this hands-on acquisition training. USF will be using this mobile integration, along with an InspiredFlight IF1200, for a variety of survey and archaeological research.

With the flexibility to collect data from both the ground and the air, this versatile setup is ready to support a wide range of mapping and research initiatives.

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.

Itโ€™s a milestone weโ€™re proud of, and just the beginning of whatโ€™s to come with live lidar demo events.

Stay tuned for details coming soon on this year's SOAR event!
