Leica Geosystems, a division of Hexagon AB, specializes in precision measurement instruments and software for surveying, construction, and geospatial data capture. The company produces laser scanners, total stations, GNSS receivers, and digital levels used across civil engineering, mining, and infrastructure projects.
While primarily a civilian technology provider, some of Leica's surveying and positioning equipment has dual-use applications and may be subject to export controls in certain jurisdictions.
Leica Geosystems evolved from the historic Leica camera and optical instrument heritage. The company was acquired by Hexagon AB (a Swedish multinational) in the early 2000s and has since become Hexagon's geospatial division, expanding into software and cloud-based solutions.
