<abstract>Fugro Horizons Inc acquired LiDAR with Leica sensor ALS60 MPiA for the North Platte River. This portion of the North Platte River covers areas in Nebraska totaling 1447 square miles. Acquisition occured fall 2011. The ALS60 sensor settings included acquisition at 7,000' AMT, 150 knots, 15% sidelap, pulse rate 109,600Hz, scan rate 31.5Hz, 34 degree field of view, 4,2ft swath width, maximum along track spacing (occurs at FOV edge) of 2.3m in overlap areas, maximum cross track spacing (occurs at Nadir) 1.1 meter, 3sigma post spacing of 1.34m. The sensor was equipped with IPAS inertial measuring unit (IMU) and a dual frequency airborne GPS receiver. These settings were used to meet or exceed 15cm vertical RMSE in flat areas with minimial vegitation. Final deliverables for the LiDAR are in Nebraska State Plane coordinate system NAD86(2007) NAVD88 Geod09 meters tiled 5,000ft x 5,000ft with an XY naming convention.
