Airborne 1 is the offspring of a consulting engagement with the Center for Technological Innovation, a joint venture between the National Oceanographic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and IC2, the premier business incubator and technology transfer program in the United States. The goal was simple: by taking lessons learned from NASA's very successful Tech Transfer program, the sister agency NOAA had a successful model to follow. Our contract called for us to explore the commercialization of LiDAR. With thousands of sites and tens of millions of acres collected and processed, we're well on our way to fulfilling our plans for a national rollout.
At the core of all our deliverables is our laser-generated digital terrain model. This is essentially a points file, as dense or as thin as required, adjusted to the client’s datum and projection needs. These ASCII XYZ points can be the only deliverable, for a maximum savings to clients.
