Munich, Germany, Sept. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — From INTERGEO 2026, GeoCue is announcing the latest addition to its standard aerial LiDAR portfolio with the launch of the TrueView 550, a new high performance mapping system designed to advance the capabilities established by the proven TrueView 539 and TrueView 540.
Combining next-generation LiDAR, dual 20 MP cameras with an expanded field of view, and a choice of GeoCue’s TrueNav GNSS-Inertial navigation system or the Applanix APX-20, it delivers detailed, accurately positioned, colorized point clouds and represents the highest-performing TrueView sensor in GeoCue’s Standard range.
Designed to deliver performance approaching higher-end aerial LiDAR systems at a more accessible price point, the TrueView 550 provides surveying, engineering and geospatial professionals with a new balance of range, accuracy, imaging capability, performance and value.
A True GeoCue Integration
At the core of the TrueView 550 is the latest advanced LiDAR scanner technology, engineered for aerial surveying applications ranging from traditional topographic mapping to challenging, high-relief terrain.
The LiDAR technology supports ranging capabilities of up to 2,100 meters and typical flight altitudes ranging from 100 to 600 meters AGL, giving operators greater flexibility when planning projects over varying terrain and larger project areas. Advanced waveform processing helps improve point-cloud density and data completeness, while the scanner is capable of collecting up to 1 million points per second at 120 meters AGL, providing the detailed 3D information required for professional mapping applications.
“The TrueView 550 is a true GeoCue product made in USA,” said Frank Darmayan, CEO of GeoCue. “We are combining the latest advanced LiDAR technology, GNSS-INS, and dual mapping cameras for a wider Field of View. The result is a completely unique TrueView sensor that gives customers the level of accuracy and performance they expect from an engineering-grade system, but at a much more accessible price point.”
Dual Cameras for Improved Mapping and Colorization
The TrueView 550 incorporates two 20 MP global shutter mapping cameras, providing an ultra-wide imaging field of view and expanding the amount of visual information captured during each flight.
The dual-camera configuration is designed to improve point-cloud colorization while providing high-resolution imagery that gives users additional visual context for feature identification, inspection and deliverable creation.
By capturing precision LiDAR measurements and detailed RGB imagery simultaneously, the TrueView 550 is well suited for applications including professional surveying, engineering, infrastructure mapping, corridor projects, topographic mapping, construction documentation and other high-accuracy reality-capture projects.
Like other TrueView systems, the TrueView 550 is integrated with GeoCue’s complete workflow, from field data collection through processing and deliverable creation in LP360.
Choose the Positioning System That Fits Your Mission
Customers can configure the TrueView 550 with either GeoCue’s TrueNav GNSS-Inertial navigation system or upgrade to the Applanix APX-20 GNSS-Inertial navigation system for enhanced positioning performance.
The APX-20 option also provides access to unlimited Trimble PP-RTX post-processing, eliminating the need for a base station in the field. Using corrections from a global satellite and reference network, PP-RTX delivers centimeter-level positioning accuracy without additional ground equipment, creating a streamlined workflow for professional surveying and mapping projects.
“The LiDAR market continues to evolve, and our customers have different requirements depending on the projects they are taking on,” said Vivien Heriard-Dubreuil, CEO of mdGroup, GeoCue’s parent company. “With the TrueView 550, we wanted to give customers more choice. They can select our TrueNav positioning system for a powerful, integrated GeoCue solution, or choose the Applanix APX-20 for enhanced GNSS-inertial performance and access to unlimited PP-RTX processing. That flexibility, combined with the performance of the new LiDAR and dual imaging system, makes the TrueView 550 the highest-performing sensor in our standard portfolio.”
Expanding Both Standard and NDAA-Compliant LiDAR Options
The TrueView 550 announcement comes fresh off GeoCue’s successful exhibition at Commercial UAV Expo 2026 in Las Vegas, where the company introduced the TV1 NDAA UL and TV1 NDAA, two new systems developed in partnership with Ouster that significantly expanded GeoCue’s NDAA-compliant aerial LiDAR portfolio.
Both systems integrate the Ouster OS1 MAX REV8, featuring a 256-channel architecture capable of collecting up to 10.4 million points per second with practical detection range of up to 200 meters at 10% reflectivity.
The TV1 NDAA UL provides a lightweight, high-density mapping option that takes advantage of the OS1 MAX REV8’s native direct colorization, eliminating the need for a separate external mapping camera to colorize the point cloud. Its smaller, lighter design makes it especially well-suited for compact multirotor and fixed-wing UAV platforms.
The TV1 NDAA builds on the same high-density Ouster LiDAR technology while adding an integrated 26 MP global shutter mapping camera, providing detailed point clouds and high-resolution imagery within the same flight.
With those new NDAA-compliant options now joining GeoCue’s portfolio, the TrueView 550 represents the next step in strengthening and diversifying the company’s standard professional LiDAR range, ensuring customers can select technology based on their individual performance, compliance, aircraft and budget requirements.
Building the Portfolio Around Customer Needs
The addition of the TrueView 550 further broadens a TrueView portfolio that now ranges from accessible professional mapping systems through advanced engineering-grade and NDAA-compliant aerial LiDAR solutions.
Rather than building a portfolio around the number of products available, GeoCue continues to evaluate where gaps exist in the market and where new technology can provide customers with a more appropriate tool for their application.
“We look for gaps and opportunities where we can better fulfill the needs of our customers and respond to what the market is asking for,” said Vincent Legrand, Vice President of Global Sales at GeoCue. “The TrueView 550 fills an important position in our standard range, just as the new TV1 NDAA systems expanded our compliant range. Having strong options across both our Standard and NDAA-compliant portfolios gives GeoCue the ability to help customers select the right tool for the work they actually need to accomplish.”
