Who can Airbus 3D World support?

Satellite imagery for precision agriculture
Agriculture

The conflicting demands to increase food production, manage inputs and protect the environment are driving a strong demand for geospatial data within the agricultural sector. Our services support key players in Agriculture as they develop productive and sustainable practices.

Agriculture
Insurance Market, Flooding devastation
Finance, Banking and Insurance

Insurers, loss adjusters and reinsurers need to be able to access reliable, accurate geospatial information to understand not only the level of risk to their property portfolios but also to effectively respond to claims particularly during catastrophic weather events.

Finance, Banking and Insurance
Satellite image - Land Administration services - Airbus Intelliegence
Urban, land administration and mapping

Civil governments, mapping institutions, land administration authorities and city managers need the latest data and information to support land management, map land use / land use changes, manage and protect natural resources, monitor urbanisation and plan infrastructure developments. 

Urban, land administration and mapping

What our customers say

Our services are recommanded by industry experts just like you

The Airbus Defence and Space WorldDEM™ Neo enables us to extract a digital canopy height model when combined with our own (patented) digital terrain model, with sufficient accuracy for many forestry applications. The lower canopy penetration of the X-band SAR compared to other SAR solutions, and the off-the-shelf global coverage, make it a very attractive solution for our SkyForestTM forestry applications. We are very happy to partner with Airbus on WorldDEMTM Neo."

We are amazed with the accuracy of the Airbus GCPs and that we can harmonise them so well with other data sources. Without the GCPs, we would not be able to complete this huge project in the allotted time frame.
