Airborne Technologies today announced it had received full EASA certification for a multi sensor installation to acquire simultaneously ground data with airborne laser scanners, AISA Airborne Hyperspectral Scanners, thermal cameras and RGB digital cameras, all in one flight.

Airborne Technologies R&D team overcame a number of challenges to arrange for up to five state of the art, low weight and low power consuming sensors to look through one single fuselage opening in the aircraft. Additionally all sensors must fit together in terms of swath, resolution and flight height and are synchronized by the same geo-referencing system and pilot flight guidance system.

Airborne Technologies investments in developing new sensor solutions for surveying purposes support many mission profiles, including but not restricted to: agriculture/forestry/environmental monitoring, aquatic biology/water supply and geology/soil sciences/physics/mineralogy/archaeology.
