3D Airport Maps
DigitalGlobe expertise provides a wide range of custom insight to support the demand in
the aviation industry for highly accurate navigational mapping. A 3D Airport Map
is a three-dimensional geospatial model of an airport’s significant features required
to support aircraft and helicopter surface operations. Typical features used by
aircraft include all runways, taxiways, aprons, gates, parking positions and buildings.
DigitalGlobe extracts detailed 3-dimensional vector information from imagery to meet the
needs of the air transportation industry. Our team can construct a 3D airport map
of any commercial or military airport in the world and deliver it directly to the
cockpit of an aircraft in near real time. For our clients from defense and intelligence,
the mapping we provide gives them the information they need when making decisions
about how to defend or attack an airport, what types of airplanes are capable of
using it, and what sort of activity takes place in the surrounding neighborhoods.
Knowing this information enables them to prepare for security threats and allocate
resources. In commercial applications, our mapping enables clients to plan expansions,
monitor infrastructure, manage maintenance, and even assess noise issues.
