June 27, 2016 — Teledyne Optech is pleased to announce that Keystone Aerial Surveys, Inc. has accepted delivery of the most capable airborne lidar system on the market, the Optech Galaxy.
As a provider of millions of miles of high-quality lidar and photogrammetric products, Keystone will make full use of the Galaxy’s efficiency-enhancing technologies. The Galaxy’s SwathTRAK™ technology will improve Keystone’s collection efficiency by keeping the swath width and point density consistent even when flying over mountains or valleys. In all regions, Keystone will improve productivity with the Galaxy’s 550-kHz measurement rate, letting them collect dense data at high aircraft speeds.
“We’re proud that Keystone chose the Galaxy to dramatically reduce the operating costs associated with their wide-area mapping requirements,” said Michael Sitar, Teledyne Optech’s Airborne Business Manager. “We have always been impressed with Keystone’s rapid adoption of new technology efficiencies, starting with their Optech Gemini investment years ago, and now with the latest innovations embodied by the Galaxy sensor. We are confident that Keystone’s investment in the Galaxy will pay dividends in reduced costs and enhanced data quality.”
“The SwathTRAK™ features and efficiencies of the Galaxy are impressive,” said John Schmitt, Keystone’s President. “With Teledyne Optech’s service and support, the decision to purchase a Galaxy was easy.”
