Unprecedented Resolution
Quick & Safe Surveys
High-Density Point Clouds
Seeing Beyond the Surface
LiteWave's EDGE ™ is the world's first small-scale topographic and bathymetric scanning LiDAR that can detect small underwater objects, measure shallow water depth, and survey critical underwater infrastructure from a small UAV platform.
LiteWave's patented 2-in-1 topo-bathy LiDAR overcomes the limitations of traditional bathymetric LiDAR, measuring underwater features at centimeter-level depth resolution. From coastal mapping and surveying, to infrastructure inspection and military logistics, the applications of our LiDAR are numerous and widespread.

Big Results
EDGE ™ is the optimal choice for small scale tactical surveys where high-definition mapping of shallow waters (0-10m depths) is needed:
• Streams, Rivers, Ponds, & Lakes
• Near-Shore / Coastal Environments
• Water Resource Management
• Natural Disaster Assessment & Recovery
• Underwater Infrastructure Inspection
• Military Logistics
• Industrial Retention Ponds
Seamless Land-to-Water Transition
The LiteWave EDGE provides high-definition measurements both above and below the water surface and accurately measures the transition from land to water. Additionally, we provide simultaneous water and bottom surface detection at sub-centimeter accuracy and precision from shore through shallow waters—an industry first.
Our versatile scanning LiDAR provides 3-D imagery of the underwater scene, and yet meets the size, weight, and power requirements for common-use UAV (drone) deployment—another industry first.
