High-Resolution Sensing Without Boundaries
Flexible airborne platforms designed to bridge the gap between satellite observations and local reality.
Airborne Sensor Platform
Satellite radar missions provide valuable global coverage but are constrained by resolution, revisit times, and acquisition schedules.
Our airborne platform complements orbital observations by providing on-demand, high-resolution measurements exactly where they are needed.
Multi-Sensor Payload
A typical sensor configuration combines:
- Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)
- Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU)
- GNSS/GPS
- High-resolution optical camera
- Optional multispectral sensors
Sensor Fusion
The platform is designed around data integration rather than individual sensors.
Optical imagery is reconstructed into detailed three-dimensional models using photogrammetric methods. Radar observations are subsequently aligned with these models to create information-rich spatial datasets.
Advanced processing approaches, including SAR tomography and multi-sensor analytics, enable the extraction of structural and physical information beyond conventional mapping products.
Why Airborne Radar?
Unlike optical systems, radar operates independently of daylight and can acquire information under challenging weather conditions.
Depending on frequency and configuration, radar can provide insights into:
- Surface structure
- Vegetation characteristics
- Soil conditions
- Moisture distribution
- Topographic change
Airborne radar enables data collection at resolutions and acquisition times tailored to specific operational needs.
