LSI currently operates one aircraft-based and two helicopter-based LiDAR systems. Each system incorporates a sensor controller/data logger unit tasked with interfacing each sensor on a proprietary level with integral precise timing referenced to GPS time. Sensors configured for data collection have a software interface for operator monitoring and control capabilities.

The controller also provides real-time navigation for flightline-based data collection. The navigational instructions are displayed to the pilot via a graphical CDI flightbar which displays the across-track position to steer and digital altitude for height above ground information.
