Orthorectified Imagery

The RQ-84Z AreoHawk is ideally suited for acquisition at low altitude. From 400 feet above ground the system comfortably attains a saturated coverage of 6-8 square km per flight. Task areas anywhere from 12-30 km² are routinely viable within one operating day. Larger areas can be completed at higher altitude with airspace integration and direct liaison with your aviation authorities. This ability to complete larger tasks in far fewer flights sets the AreoHawk system apart from others.

Ortho images are GIS ready. The AreoHawk UAV processing pipeline delivers consistent ortho images to the following standard:

    1 km² tiled GeoTiffs in desired map projection
    Superior colour and tone balancing. Impossible to discern individual images
    Only most NADIR pixels are promoted producing true orthos and eliminating parallax
    High resolution sub-4cm and a standard 50cm summary image provided
    Integration of survey ground control markers for high accuracy
    Multiple delivery options
