AirborneMapping transforms Tecnam P2006T Twin

Austria's AirborneMapping has unveiled a modified Tecnam P2006T Twin it has converted to conduct the first airborne operated, water penetrating laser system specially developed for hydromapping purposes.

The Austrian airborne spatial survey technologies and services provider has devised an innovative shallow water bathymetric scanning method (hydromapping) as part of a joint research project with Austria’s University of Innsbruck. The company selected the Tecnam P2006T Twin as its platform of choice to fulfill a wide range of modernised aerial surveying missions and research work.

Equipped with a range of sensors including a bathymetric/topographic scanner, aerial, spectral and IR cameras, AHM adapted the Tecnam P2006T so that all sensors are operated from within the aircraft and deployed through three specially created openings powered by additional generators for 1.8kW.

Using this modified Tecnam P2006T Twin, AHM is bridging the gap between airborne and terrestrial survey processes, data evaluation and project oriented modeling and customer-related engineering for water, land, nature and ice & snow tasks.

AHM is coupling new fields of data acquisition for topographic and bathymetric data combined with new modeling, visualisation and decision-support software to meet the present and future challenge of spatial-temporal data.

Within a large European research project or future project work, AHM is looking for franchise partners interested in the new hydromapping and aircraft technology.
