Scope
The current Aeronautical Features contract entails collecting and managing NGA’s worldwide airfield and vertical obstruction data holdings. Given the global scale and importance for high quality and prompt deliveries, T-Kartor USA has developed tools such as the Odin ESRI Add-in to increase production efficiency while maintaining quality and reducing costs.
T-Kartor USA’s Odin tool allows the analyst to work with 2D imagery in a customizable interface to measure the height of vertical obstructions. Currently utilising a web map-tiling service (WMTS) connection, Odin provides user friendly access to the comprehensive imagery catalogue with customizable options.
Deliverables
The AIRAC based production is streamlined based on a seamless database built from more than 20 data sources using the one-feature-one-time strategy. To date, T-Kartor USA has delivered more than 5200 Airfields and more than 4.4 million vertical obstructions worldwide.
