Product Overview

Survey-Grade Capture. Any Environment. Any Scale.

The Artec Jet is a high-precision, mobile SLAM-based LiDAR system purpose-built for professionals who need reliable, accurate data from environments that challenge conventional scanning equipment. From open-air infrastructure and road networks to GPS-denied underground spaces and vertical shafts — Artec Jet scales to meet the scope and complexity of any project.
At 1.57 kg and rated IP65, it is built to perform in the field without compromise. Switch between seven distinct deployment modes in seconds using the quick-release mechanism — no recalibration, no downtime.

 

Manufacturer Info

One Scanner. Seven Ways to Deploy.

The Artec Jet is engineered for operational flexibility. Its quick-release mounting mechanism allows users to switch between handheld, backpack, drone, vehicle, robot, telescopic pole, and cage deployments in seconds — without interrupting a session or recalibrating the device.
At 1.57 kg and drawing just 64 W from a battery or auxiliary power source, it is equally at home walking a factory floor, mounted to a Boston Dynamics Spot, or descending into a vertical shaft in a protective stainless steel cage. One device. Configured for the mission.

Accurate Data: With or Without GPS

Artec Jet’s SLAM-based positioning engine delivers continuous, accurate mapping in environments where satellite positioning is unavailable or unreliable. Underground tunnels, enclosed facilities, mine shafts, and dense urban canyons present no obstacle to its ±0.03% drift rate and consistent indoor mapping accuracy of ±10 mm.
For above-ground operations that demand global accuracy, optional RTK accessories enable GNSS-assisted georeferencing — reducing reliance on control points and delivering precise coordinates in a single session that transitions seamlessly between open-air and GPS-denied zones.

Autonomous Mapping. Beyond Human Reach.

When conditions are dangerous, confined, or beyond line of sight, Artec Jet’s AI autonomy engine takes over. Set waypoints and the drone navigates independently — using omnidirectional LiDAR to detect obstacles as small as 2 mm wire from 1.2 to 40 m in every direction.
A return-to-base failsafe ensures the scanner navigates safely home if battery levels drop or conditions deteriorate. No drone is ever lost. No data is left behind. And with guided exploration and global path planning, Artec Jet maps environments that operators cannot physically enter — delivering usable point cloud data from areas that were previously out of reach.

High-Speed Capture with On-Site Verification

Artec Jet’s 32-channel LiDAR sensor captures up to 1,920,000 points per second in Multi Return Mode — cutting through vegetation and revealing hidden structural details that single-return systems miss. Its 360° × 290° field of view ensures dense, shadow-free coverage in a single pass.
A real-time companion app streams point cloud previews during capture, giving operators instant confirmation of data quality and coverage before leaving the site. Combine LiDAR with an optional camera to add true-colour RGB attributes to your point cloud — creating vivid, immediately recognisable 3D representations of any environment.

Why Choose the Artec Jet?

Mobile LiDAR systems have become essential tools across surveying, infrastructure inspection, mining, and defense — and for good reason. They deliver accurate spatial data rapidly, across environments where conventional methods fall short. Here’s why the Artec Jet is the professional’s choice:

1

Operational Flexibility at Every Scale

With seven deployment modes and a quick-release mechanism requiring no recalibration, the Artec Jet adapts to any mission profile in seconds. From handheld walk-throughs to fully autonomous drone flights, it captures accurate data across environments of any size, complexity, or accessibility — in a single device.

2

No Infrastructure Dependency

SLAM-based positioning enables continuous, accurate mapping with no reliance on GPS, targets, or external reference infrastructure. Transitions seamlessly between above-ground and GPS-denied environments in the same session, with optional RTK for georeferenced accuracy where required.

3

Part of a Complete Digitization Ecosystem

Together with Artec Ray II and Artec Leo, the Artec Jet completes a full end-to-end pipeline, from site-scale LiDAR capture to fine-detail component scanning. One workflow. One software platform. Everything from infrastructure to individual parts, captured accurately and efficiently.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Artec Jet supports seven deployment modes: handheld, backpack, drone/UAV, vehicle mount, ground robot, telescopic pole, and cage. Switching between modes requires no recalibration — the quick-release mechanism allows transitions in seconds, mid-session if needed.

Yes. Artec Jet’s SLAM-based positioning operates independently of GPS or external reference infrastructure. It maintains a ±0.03% drift rate and delivers mapping accuracy of ±10 mm in typical indoor and underground environments — making it equally effective in mines, tunnels, enclosed facilities, and urban canyons.

Yes. Artec Jet’s AI autonomy engine supports non-GPS flight, position hold, collision avoidance, and autonomous waypoint navigation via DJI and ArduPilot-compatible platforms. Its omnidirectional LiDAR detects obstacles as small as 2 mm wire from up to 40 m in every direction — keeping equipment protected in confined airspace.

Artec Jet outputs point clouds in .las, .laz, .ply, and .e57 formats, with attributes including intensity, range, time, return number, ring number, and optional RGB/true colour when paired with a compatible camera.

Artec Jet extends the Artec 3D product range to cover large-scale site capture. Used alongside Artec Ray II for large-object detail and Artec Leo for component-level scanning, it enables a complete digitisation pipeline — from entire sites down to individual parts — within a single software environment.
