Localization and mapping systems and related techniques are provided to improve the operation of unmanned mobile sensor or survey platforms. A localization and mapping system includes a logic device configured to communicate with a single element rangefinder (SER) coupled to a mobile platform, where the SER is configured to provide ranging sensor data indicating a distance between the SER and a surface within a survey area. The logic device generates a horizontal planar occupancy map, generates a vertical planar occupancy map, and determines a three-dimensional occupancy map based on the horizontal planar occupancy map and the vertical planar occupancy map.
