From Earlier: GE Aviation Signs Agreement with GeoEye for 3D Airport Maps and High-Resolution Earth Imagery

GE Aviation today announced its agreement with GeoEye GEOY to provide the aviation industry with ICAO-compliant terrain and obstacle aeronautical data derived from GeoEye's high resolution Earth imagery. GE GE is showcasing this technology at ATC Global this week in Amsterdam. As the first offering under this agreement, GE will provide ICAO Annex 15 Area-2 terrain and obstacle databases to support the development of new Performance-based Navigation (PBN) flight paths around the world. This digital, highly detailed terrain and obstacle mapping, collected by some of the world's highest-resolution commercial earth-imaging satellites, will support the world's airport, airlines and aviation authorities as they move to adopt PBN.
