Applications
- 10.4.1 Runway & Taxiway Monitoring — Using very-high-resolution satellite optical and SAR imagery to detect surface degradation, foreign-object debris, and geometric deformation on active runways and taxiways.
- 10.4.2 Apron & Terminal Activity — Using very-high-resolution optical satellite imagery to monitor aircraft stands, gate occupancy, ground vehicle movements and terminal apron congestion at civilian and military airfields.
- 10.4.3 Airport Construction Tracking — Monitoring active airport construction projects via repeat-pass optical and SAR imagery to track earthworks, structural progress, and schedule compliance against design intent.
- 10.4.4 Airfield Pavement Distress — Using satellite radar interferometry and very-high-resolution optical imagery to detect, classify and trend pavement cracking, subsidence and deformation across active airfield surfaces.
- 10.4.5 Wildlife Strike Risk Mapping — Using multispectral and thermal satellite imagery to map migratory bird corridors, wetland attractants and large-fauna movement patterns that create strike hazards for departing and arriving aircraft.
