AALTO's see & sense solutions take the endurance; the ability to easily re-task, the stratospheric position of our record-breaking Zephyr HAPS, and combine it with an Earth observation payload to deliver high quality data to the customer.
By default, for see & sense applications, AALTO equips Zephyr with a stratosphere-proven Airbus system, delivering varied capabilities working together to deliver the mission effect.
The main sensor (which is steerable), is capable of delivering:
- Very-high-quality 18cm Ground Sampling Distance (GSD) resolution over an area of ~1.5km²
- Medium wave infra-red 70 cm resolution
The secondary sensor (which is fixed), is capable of delivering:
- 2m GSD resolution over an area of 100km²
- 10m resolution over an area of 1000km²
- an Automatic Identification System (AIS) for maritime applications
