Norut have laser scanners specially built for the CryoWing UAS. The scanner samples 25000 points per second and up to 30 sweeps per second. This give a maximum ground resolution of about 1 m along track and 20 cm across track, depending on flight altitude.

The CryoWing laser scanner has the following desirable properties:

- Less expensive than manned aircraft options 

- More accurate than ortho photo stereography

- Up to 25000 points per second

Possible applications for a digital elevation model derived from a UAV:

- Glacial mass balance and surface elevation mapping

- Biomass growth rate in forestry

- Roughness maps in connection with wind parks

- Measure wave heights and lengths
