Complete Obstacle Management System for UAS

Rapid Imaging Software, Inc.has introduced SmarTopo Harvest.  This new technology is integrated into the SmarTopo Obstacle Management System.  SmarTopo delivers obstacle survey and detection technology plus powerful data management tools for a complete obstacle management system.  SmarTopo is certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to a level 1B.

SmarTopo Harvest is the latest obstacle detection technology from Rapid Imaging Software.  The software provides a fast and efficient method to detect undocumented obstacles and add new obstacles to a database.

SmarTopo Harvest:

• Searches for obstacles – the height for the search is set by the analyst
• Detects objects or structures may be compared to the FAA obstacle database
• Estimates height of the objects or structures
• Creates new obstacle for a proprietary database

The issue of undocumented obstacles is extensive.  A recent study conducted using SmarTopo Harvest indicates there are a substantial number of undocumented obstacles in the national airspace.  An analyst using SmarTopo Harvest identified 52 undocumented obstacles of 200 feet or more in a study area of six square miles around the Los Angeles International Airport.

Mike Abernathy, Direct of Development notes, “SmarTopo Harvest is the key for small commercial drones to operate safely in urban areas.  This technology allows companies to create and maintain an obstacle database for their drone operations.”
