Rapid response
Dealing with emergencies, without creating new ones
Emergencies from natural disasters or catastrophic events require immediate action to save lives and protect property, necessitating an accurate understanding of the situation on the ground. Collecting situational data after events like earthquakes, landslides or wildfires often puts first responders at risk. It's crucial to know pre-event conditions to assess changes and generate an accurate current map that can be overlaid onto previous data. A UAV designed for mapping can collect and geolocate imagery without ground control points, creating accurate maps without physically entering dangerous areas. The Trimble APX-15 GNSS/INS board with POSPac software, used with a UAV and sensor system, provides safe and efficient mapping.
Timely and high-quality aerial imagery is crucial in guiding first responders to critical areas during an active emergency. Small aircraft are needed to quickly cover large regions affected by severe weather. Producing accurate, high-resolution color and infrared imagery is essential, even in poor weather. Imagery must be collected and processed rapidly, ideally within 24 hours, to direct relief efforts effectively.
Using small aircraft equipped with Applanix POS technology, directly georeferenced data is delivered quickly and affordably. Applanix POS AV integrates precision GNSS with inertial technology for efficient and economical disaster surveys. Supported by Trimble's expertise, it is designed for aerial cameras, scanning lasers, imaging sensors, radar and LiDAR technology.
