NDAA compliant, FCC approved, and exporting directly to LAS or LAZ through the free Freefly Flow iPad app, it is a system built around operational clarity rather than software dependency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features and Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOuster OS1 scanner: 5,242,880 points per second at ranges up to 200 m.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e360°×42.4° FOV: full horizontal sweep with vertical coverage in a single pass.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e±3 cm accuracy: ±0.5 cm precision for survey-grade point cloud data collection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual laser returns: reliable data capture through vegetation and complex surfaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual U-blox X20 GNSS: full-band L1\/L2\/L5\/L6 receivers support PPK post-processing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eXimea 20MP RGB camera: colorizes point cloud data in the same mission pass.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e633 g payload weight: lightest in the Flux lineup for minimal aircraft endurance impact.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmart Dovetail interface: tool-free integration with Freefly Astro, Astro Max, and Alta X Gen2.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLAS and LAZ export: standard output formats with no software subscription required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNDAA compliant: approved for government, defense, and critical infrastructure procurement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"position: relative; width: 100%; padding-bottom: 56.25%; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"position: absolute; top: 0; left: 50%; transform: translateX(-50%); width: 100%; height: 100%;\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/As478fulFOg?si=3mlOEvonje9qIED8\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe O1's dual U-blox X20 full-band GNSS receivers, covering L1, L2, L5, and L6, form the backbone of a PPK workflow that processes on-device without cloud infrastructure or recurring licensing costs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe integrated Ximea 20MP RGB camera captures colorized point cloud data in the same pass, and dual laser returns produce clean, reliable data through vegetation, complex facades, and mixed-surface terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor organizations deploying Freefly platforms on government contracts, utility corridor inspections, or critical infrastructure assessments, the Flux O1 represents a procurement-ready LiDAR solution that fits the aircraft they already operate and the compliance requirements their projects already impose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Compliant LiDAR Solution That Fits the Freefly Ecosystem\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Flux O1's integration story is built on specificity. The Smart Dovetail mount provides direct, tool-free attachment to the Astro and Astro Max with no adapters required, and the two quick-release GNSS mounts included in the box cover both platforms out of the gate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dual U-blox X20 receivers handle full-band PPK correction:  L1, L2, L5, and L6 are all required; a dual-band base station will not produce accurate results — and post-processing runs through the free Freefly Flow app on any Apple M-Series iPad, with an M3 processing at four times real time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 5.2 million points per second throughput means fewer flight passes per site, and the zero-subscription data pipeline means the cost of ownership is fixed at the point of purchase. For fleet operators running Freefly aircraft on regulated projects, the O1 is the LiDAR payload that was designed for their ecosystem rather than adapted to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFreefly Flux LiDAR Payload Comparison\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\n  .comparison-table {\n    width: 100%;\n    border-collapse: collapse;\n    font-size: 14px;\n  }\n  .comparison-table th,\n  .comparison-table td {\n    border: 1px solid #e5e5e5;\n    padding: 10px 12px;\n    vertical-align: top;\n    text-align: left;\n  }\n  .comparison-table thead th {\n    background-color: #f7f7f7;\n    font-weight: 600;\n  }\n  .comparison-table tbody tr:nth-child(even) {\n    background-color: #fafafa;\n  }\n  @media (max-width: 768px) {\n    .comparison-table th,\n    .comparison-table td {\n      font-size: 13px;\n      padding: 8px;\n    }\n  }\n\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"comparison-table\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCategory\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFlux O1\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFlux L1\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFlux H1\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eScanner\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOuster OS1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLivox Avia\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHesai XT-32MX\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePoints \/ sec\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5,242,880\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e720,000\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,920,000\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRange\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e~200 m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e450 m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e300 m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eField of view\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e360° × 42.4°\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e70° × 77°\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e360° × 40.3°\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAccuracy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e±3 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e±5 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e±1 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrecision\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.5 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.5 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLaser returns\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e633 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e715 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e715 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eScan pattern\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRepetitive\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNon-repetitive\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRepetitive\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNDAA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRGB camera\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eXimea 20MP\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eXimea 20MP\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eXimea 20MP\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility and System Integration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFreefly Astro: native Smart Dovetail integration;
