Product catalog summary
Overview
The ALTM Galaxy PRIME is an advanced airborne lidar terrain mapper designed for maximum productivity in wide-area, mountain, urban, and corridor survey applications. It features a 6000m AGL collection envelope and a 1-MHz on-ground collection rate, making it highly efficient and flexible for various applications.

Key Features
  • Continuous Operating Envelope: Utilizes PulseTRAK™ technology to eliminate data coverage gaps and ensure consistent point density, simplifying mission planning.
  • Dynamic Field of View (FOV): SwathTRAK™ technology maintains fixed-width swaths for consistent point distribution, reducing the number of flight lines needed and saving up to 70% in collection costs.
  • Boost Mode: Enhances range performance and detectability, improving small target detection and vegetation penetration.
  • Real-time Sensor Protocol: Allows in-air target observation and collection monitoring, providing real-time data verification and immediate deliverables.
  • High-Performance Scanner: Features a galvanometric scanner for superior scan speeds and improved data quality.

Applications
  • Wide-area mapping
