The new aircraft will continue operating in the United States and is capable of collecting approximately 1,600,000 sq. km. (618,000 sq. mi.) of highly-accurate 3D digital elevation data per year. This platform joins a technically-sophisticated fleet of four other craft that are proactively collecting country-wide data throughout the United States and Europe as part of Intermap's accelerated NEXTMap® initiative. The added capacity also enables the Company to support its growing list of fee-for-service projects around the world.
“The IFSAR infrastructure of this aircraft was operational in record time — a credit to the unrivaled technical expertise of our engineering team,” stated Mark Frank, Intermap's vice president of acquisition operations & engineering. “The unwavering commitment to excellence of our engineering team continues to strengthen our leadership position within the industry, while positioning us to quickly and affordably meet diverse market demand.”
