Collection Capabilities

Every mission begins with trusted data.

Intermap combines proprietary airborne IFSAR, satellite imagery, LiDAR integration and advanced multi-sensor processing to create authoritative 3D terrain data and geospatial intelligence products. Our flexible collection strategy enables us to acquire, integrate and process information from virtually any source, delivering the right data for every mission.

Airborne IFSAR
Rapidly collect high-accuracy terrain and surface information day or night, through clouds, smoke and dense vegetation. Intermap's proprietary airborne IFSAR technology rapidly maps large geographic areas while producing high-accuracy 3D terrain intelligence.

Satellite Imagery
Integrate commercial and government satellite imagery to provide broad-area coverage, monitoring capabilities and complementary visual intelligence.

LiDAR Integration
Fuse third-party LiDAR with Intermap's proprietary terrain data and processing capabilities to create seamless datasets optimized for customer requirements.

Multi-Sensor Intelligence
Combine airborne radar, satellite imagery, LiDAR and additional geospatial sources into a unified intelligence foundation supporting mapping, defense, infrastructure, environmental monitoring and operational decision-making.

From Collection to Decision Intelligence

Collection is only the beginning.

Intermap transforms raw sensor data into authoritative terrain models, orthorectified imagery, mission-ready GEOINT products and AI-powered analytics that enable faster, more informed decisions across government and commercial markets.

Proven Airborne Collection at National Scale

When coalition forces required accurate terrain intelligence at scale, NGA turned to Intermap.

Leveraging its proprietary airborne IFSAR technology, Intermap collected 414,000 square kilometers of precision 3D terrain data across Afghanistan in just 90 days, supporting operational planning, mobility, targeting and precision effects for U.S. and allied forces operating in complex and hostile environments.

Airborne Resolution. Mission Advantage.

Intermap's airborne IFSAR platforms operate significantly closer to the Earth's surface than spaceborne radar systems, producing higher-resolution terrain information, improved signal quality and more accurate terrain representation for demanding geospatial intelligence applications.

Higher Resolution
Capture terrain and surface details not visible in lower-resolution datasets.

Improved Signal Quality
Produce clearer imagery and more reliable data products.

Better Terrain Representation
Support more accurate terrain modeling, feature extraction and geospatial analysis.

Past Performance

Malaysia Map Frame
 
Peninsular Malaysia Collection

Malaysia is a tropical nation in Southeast Asia with an area of approximately 330,000 square kilometers. Persistent cloud cover, heavy rainfall and challenging terrain limit traditional mapping methods. Intermap collected X-band and P-band imagery across 130,000 square kilometers of Peninsular Malaysia in 35 days. Airborne IFSAR and DEM fusion supported the national mapping program.

Philippines Map Frame
 
Philippines National Mapping Program

The Philippines is an archipelago located in Southeast Asia. The country officially consists of 7,641 islands, replacing the former count of 7,107. The additional islands were identified through a 2013 airborne radar survey by Intermap Technologies. The survey also supported development of a national digital elevation model for mapping and planning.
