LiDAR + thermal payload.

• LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) — active sensor that fires laser pulses and measures return time → millions of 3-D points per second → dense point clouds and DEMs.
• Thermal camera — long-wave IR (8–14 µm) detects emitted heat. Day or night; sees through smoke.
• Combined mission use: structural inspection, search and rescue, forestry canopy mapping, electrical-substation inspection.
