The R3 Pro V2 does not fall under the critical component definition in the Section 848 of the NDAA.
The R3 Pro V2 does not fall under the critical component classification, as outlined in Section 848 of the NDAA. Since it is not integrated into the drone itself but operates as a separate, portable LiDAR system that can be handheld or mounted on a drone, it is not subject to NDAA restrictions.
Why the R3 Pro V2 is Exempt from NDAA Compliance
The R3 Pro V2 is a versatile LiDAR system that operates independently of the drone carrying it. This means it:
- Is not a critical drone component: The R3 Pro V2 is not built into the drone’s operating system and doesn’t control any of its flight operations. It merely collects data while being carried by the drone.
- Works as a standalone device: It can also be used as a handheld camera or in mobile configurations.
- Is not restricted under NDAA Section 848, which typically covers embedded drone components such as flight controllers and operating software.

Key Features of the R3 Pro V2
The R3 Pro V2 is a highly adaptable system that offers:
- Handheld or mobile mount capabilities: This allows it to be used in a variety of situations without relying on a drone. Check out how to attach it to a drone like the M300 or M350 in our setup guide.
- Independent LiDAR capture: It is entirely separate from the drone’s navigation systems, meaning it only serves as a payload for data collection.
- Compatibility with ground-based and aerial setups: It functions equally well when used in mobile scenarios such as mounted on a vehicle or handheld for ground surveys.
