Point for point, the cost of Laser Mapping blows away any other form of traditional and airborne topographic data collection method. Using lasers allows Airborne 1 to collect topographic data at a rate of up to 15 acres and 100,000 measurements per second, which translates into tremendous savings to customers.
You've seen similar waves of change with GPS. This time the technology is considerably more costly. A number of firms are feverishly working to design and prove a system for their own in-house use, with the goal of capturing new market share. By using Airborne 1, firms of all sizes can compete with these new threats by offering customers the most detailed, timely, and accurate mapping data at very competitive rates.
eliminating users concerns of a seven-figure investment into cutting-edge technology. No single user, regardless of size and market share, is likely to efficiently utilize the tremendous acreage capacity of a LiDAR system. Working with Airborne 1 eliminates wasteful excess-capacity challenges.
with guaranteed system access for firms of all sizes. Whether your interest is in service, production, or even a system acquisition, we'll be glad to share what we know. Our mission focuses on service excellence. Since no single system is perfect for all project demands, we think it makes more sense to coordinate with other entities and institutions, and tailor the data collection to the user's project-specific needs.
You'll benefit from our lessons learned as consultants to NOAA's Center for Technological Innovation joint venture, where we were contracted to investigate the commercialization possibilities of LiDAR. Our thousands of man-hours of industry research and real-world commercial LiDAR project experience is available to customers on a 24-hour a day basis. Each system and each operator has their own strengths and limitations. Our investment in learning about them can be put to work for your next project.
This includes putting your project through a finely honed production process, ensuring turnaround times that will truly delight you and your customers. Depending upon deliverables, we've seen our chosen LiDAR unit survey 10,000 acres in a single hour. We've turned around data sets for projects like these in just a couple of weeks, including complete Digital Elevation Models and full sets of indexed contour maps at 2' intervals.
allowing customers the choice of how much or how little they would like to participate in producing the final deliverables. If raw ASCII XYZ points are all that is desired, then the costs will reflect that. If the customer prefers orthophotos built upon and draped on that data, along with perspective views, unique contouring and texturing, and "fly-throughs," well, that's OK, too. Airborne 1 will do whatever it takes to satisfy our customers. That's our promise, and we live by it. Airborne 1 wants to save you money. Learning how to do things on your own is another way for you to do just that. We have a staff of highly trained and experienced experts to guide you through your learning experience and get you on your way. You can learn a little or a lot, we offer training on everything from software to sensor operation/calibration.
