APID-60 Dissaster mapping The APID-60 imaging system is extremely suitable for disaster mapping, e.g. for situation analysis after floods, landslides, avalances, forest fires and earth quakes. The system is rapidly mobilized. The images are processed into orthorectified mosaics, which are available within hours after the survey for further analysis in any GIS system. Aerial imagescan be collected by APID in any location since the system dont need an airstrip. APID-60 imagery resolution starts from 5 cm, so the technology is suitable for very detailed analysis and mapping.
All weather operations APID-60 is able to… - Fly below the cloud base - Operate in close vicinity to objects - Crosswind operations
