Lido/SurfaceData NEXTView combines Intermap’s NEXTMap® elevation data with Lufthansa Systems’ Lido/SurfaceData to provide the UAV market with the world’s first high-resolution, global terrain dataset
Flight Planning. Use high-accuracy terrain information in urban and rural environments to identify new bases, distribution centers, strategic positions, obstructions and vantage points
Flight Safety. Minimize risk of collision with high-precision locations of billions of obstructions worldwide, including buildings, vegetation and terrain features
Flight Efficiency. Reduce the “uncertainty envelope” on flight paths. Determine and select optimal routes, minimize elevation gains and increase payload weight
Sensor Integration. Highly suitable for real-time sensor integration for full situational awareness. NEXTView data provides strategic overview and onboard sensors provide real-time tactical overview
Worldwide Coverage. 100% coverage of the Earth’s surface
Accurate Terrain Data. Seamless 6-meter digital surface model with 3-meter vertical accuracy
Detailed Surface Obstructions. Anticipate billions of obstructions such as buildings, bridges and trees during flight planning
Certified. Fully EASA-certified and approved for navigation systems and integration with flight safety systems
Continually Updated. Continual updates ensure data are reliable and current
NEXTView elevation data dramatically reveal buildings, terrain and other obstructions that are missing in other datasets
