Air Target Services offer Daedalus ATM Acquisition Flights throughout Australia and Internationally. To provide the most flexible and cost efficient means of data acquisition, a variety of airborne platforms are utilised. For high resolution data, the Cessna 402/404 and Aero Commander aircraft are used. For larger area coverage, the Learjet has been chosen as a very capable and economical platform for our operations.

Band 10 2.08-2.35 um.
Band 11 8.5-13.0 um.
Band 12 Band 11 X0.5 or X2 Gain.
The Daedalus ATM contains the following specifications:
- 2.5 mRad Instantaneous Field of View
- Integrated S-bend geometric distortion correction.
- Digitized 78 degrees Field of View
Reduced to 77 degrees with S-bend correction applied.
- Roll Correction +/- 15 degrees.
- 8-bit data provided on Exabyte tape or CD-ROM.
- Spatial resolution determined by aircraft flying height.
A 1000 metre increase in flying height = 2.5 metre pixel size increase.
- Image swath = Flying Height X 1.6
